Made his debut off the bench for Kilmarnock today in a 1-0 loss. Came on with 15 mins to go. Done relatively well from what I've read.

Pretty sure it was his first taste of senior mens football having only every played youth/reserves with United, Nice and Brentford.

Still only 19 so plenty of time for this lad to develop.

Would still be eligible for the current u19s but realistically hes probably one for the next u21 campaign.

He's overage for the 19s. Current 19s is for players born in 2004.

Scored in a 2-2 draw for Kilmarnock reserves during the week.

Recalled by Nice after abysmal loan spell at Kilmarnock.

This lad must be muck?

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Apparently signing for Burnley on a free transfer from Nice. For a player who didn't get a look in at Kilmarnock he seems to get signed by some decent clubs.

Reminds me of when Conor Clifford went to Leicester.

Man United, Nice , Brentford , Kilmarnock and Burnley in the space of a short time. Time to produce Deji.

There's always a player that seem to have some raw potential scouts love and each club wants to be the one to get it out of them. But still wierd career, can't say I know anything about him.

I believe he's fast as f**k basically, when he was at Man United he was apparently the fastest player in the entire club. Coaches and scouts often see that raw attribute in someone and think they can turn them into a player. But it doesn't usually work like that in reality.

He had a decent goal/assist return at underage level too though, even with Kilmarnock B there he had a goal and 2 assists in 2 games. He hasn't yet been given a fair crack at senior football with just the 2 appearances with Kilmarnock totally 32 minutes. Theres the makings of a player there but he needs to settle somewhere and get playing regularly at some level.

Frankie Deane also let go - I don't think Burnley have any other Irish players in their youth set up.

We're decent enough..
