It sort of fits, he's a left winger which is a position we have been rumours to want to strengthen, despite playing on the left he's right footed which mean he's played inverted as is Hughton penchant, He's played under Hughton before and is supposedly no longer wanted at Newcastle. It fits very well, but is could still just be a journalist adding all these things together and getting it wrong.
Hope not, when i've seen him play he looks like he's treading treacle whilst running, all effort and no finesse, not sure we should be looking to reduce the playing time for exciting young wingers we have for a player of this style... Just my opinion.
