He’s only just turned 17 so there’s plenty of time for him to develop, but the report also goes on to suggest that he’s now expected to make his debut with the first team at some point this season after signing the deal.

He’s described as one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe for his age and it appears that he can play on either wing or through the middle, so that versatility could also help him earn a chance in the first team.

It’s unlikely that he’ll be thrown straight into the team just now when a title challenge is going on, but it would make sense either in Europe or if there are any dead rubber league games at the end of the season.
