Fans must temper their immediate expectations regarding his rapid development. There is a massive gap separating Scottish football and the English Premier League. The teenager experienced some expected growing pains during this campaign. Journo Dustin George Miller addressed his immediate future. “Anyone who thinks he is going to waltz into the first team and start dominating next season is probably going to be disappointed,” he warned. The writer correctly noted that the talented youngster is barely an adult today.

Club executives currently face a massive strategic decision regarding his next professional destination. “He would probably cook in the Championship,” Miller explained. The journalist envisions him getting a high level loan next year. That strictly depends on the senior squad surviving. He genuinely hopes, the North Londoners stay in the Premier League. The attacker might also carve out a reserve role depending on his offseason performances. Everyone completely agrees that Mikey is definitely a truly massive talent.
