Really rooting for him to make it, but that fee is a huge burden for a 20-year-old.
It is a lot of money and he is very young, sort of unproven, but this is what the 'Business Clubs' have to do, take swings.

Its only marginally different than what Liverpool did with Darwin. You've got to assess a target, take a swing and hope your Scouts and coaches are worth their money.
