Sorry to bump this up but how is he defensively? Is he a pure forward or a winger that could maybe drop back a bit in the future like how we wanted perisic to play as wing back on the attack 24/7?
From what I have seen he is much more of a pure forward but not seen enough to judge his defensive abilites.
He's very good defensively from what i've seen and puts in a real shift for the team tracking back imo. The only think holding him back right now is that he's still not physically there yet. He also suffered a horrific injury which kept him out for nearly a year but I think under Ole he could get the opportunity at RW soon.

Would like to see how him and Dalot combine on the right. If they show good chemistry that could be our right side sorted for years .
 
Didn't play in the under 23 game earlier, so unless he's injured, he might be in the travelling squad to Cardiff..
 


Looks decent, It'd be good to see him and Greenwood get some minutes against "weaker" opposition. Id rather we did that before we went and splashed out on some next big thing from somwhere else. If they look like they have talent but need some time, we can always loan somebody in or sign an older player for the short term.
 
Damn, he looks good. Hope to see him in the first team soon.

Any idea why he hasn’t been given any minutes yet and the younger Gomes has?
 
I know he picked up a serious injury last year that kept him out for a long time, but is he quite injury prone? in terms of smaller niggles?

Not particularly, he got injured because of Reading being thugs all game to him.
 
I've mentioned this before but his style of play reminds me of someone but I have no idea who (I don't mean appearance e.g his hair or anything).
I think the way he slightly pushes the ball forward, maintains his pace with the ball still seemingly stuck to his feet may remind you of Messi. Watch young Messi and let me know if that is who you could not quite pin point.

Edit, I was wrong, it is Gullit, don't know if you are old enough to remember him. Yes, yes...
Seeing others write Gullit's name reminded me.

Emmm I know what you mean.

It's like a fast young Dutch player of Surinamese descent......I know, Chong!
 
What!
Zaha looks cumbersome when dribbling. The ball looks glued to Chong's feet and always looks in control.

Blimey that's an exaggeration if ever I read one.

Talented he is, but always in control? No

Of course not always, but his close control when moving with the ball is very different to Zaha's. I don't see the similarity in their game.

There isn’t. Zaha has always been stop start dribbler. Chong is a sprinter. He needs to temper this. He’s easy to stop and will get fouled and injured more often than not
 
I’ll be honest, I can’t think of any similarities between Messi and Chong.
 
I’m not sure with all these outlandish comparisons. He’s definitely a good prospect, but messi and rvp were much more skilful.

I would say more Zaha.

Plus some of the defenders in that video look to give away so much space.
