He's the real deal though. Physical strength will come with his gym work. A league one loan is perfect for him to adapt to the physical challenge.

I can see a Championship loan for him next season.

Never know with the Argus but seems a strange thing for a young CB to say that he finds it difficult dealing with CFs

Not really. The boy has been playing u23 football and now he's playing against experienced, professional footballers who are older, stronger and probably quicker. Of course a young CB is going to find it difficult. There isn't a professional CB in the world who walked straight into being a top player immediately. John Terry needed a loan spell at Forest to sharpen up, Van Dijk travelled around for a while and even took a break from professional football by playing for Celtic. Sergio Ramos was a right back for the first few years at Real Madrid, etc.

He’s not going to be much bigger than Ben White so on the left of a 3 he might work.

Otherwise he is going to have to become more crafty in his approach to dealing with them. He is still very young so a lot to learn. He just needs to be patient and allow himself time to grow as a player.
