That's great to hear, although that doesn't implicate he's any good in midfield. I will be happy to be proven wrong, but I don't see him as a midfielder (same as I've been repeating time and time again about Pogba).
Anyway, considering he's played only in attacking positions for us, and is not clicking with the rest of the team yet, I don't think we'll see him starting anywhere on the pitch anytime soon.
He played in every position in Ajax's midfield.
He's a versatile midfielder who can adapt to any role. He's a product of the Ajax academy - they train every player in multiple positions. He is most likely the best coached player in our entire squad. He's used to playing in a cohesive team unit where every players knows they're role and each player plays a part in the cog.
Reason he's not clicking with the team is he's either started with the dross in cup games or come into games late when we are already knackered and beaten. The lad doesnt stand a chance to impress at the minute.
He needs to start and he needs time to settle in. Even in his appearances - he's often in space and not found. He's an intelligent footballer and technically better than what we have
