The biggest issue with him is locking him into a position. Like he's definitely not a number 9 anymore in my opinion.
The mad thing is though he finishes like a proper 9 as he gets into positions where you want your striker, tapping in from 3 yards.
Just not a 9 in the sense of facing away from goal, physically dominating defenders and getting into those kind of battles, he's more of a 10 in when he gets the ball in space he sees the pitch. Never admires his own pass though, he's off and running once he's released it.
Be good if he's getting physical with the 1st team and getting stuck in
