Hans Solo seems to give the lad a lot of hype (which were, apologies, but TLDR as is this too! 
) ). However, just based on a the few promo vids posted above (which admittedly never give the whole picture) I can see some weaknesses as well as pluses -
Yalcouyé seems to have great pace and box to box stamina. Stays on his feet too so well centred and agile. Matches Mitoma in his dribbling technique which is clearly one of his key skills. His tackling is confident and well timed usually but some of them also look late - I think he would make an excellent transitional D->A player because of his dexterity and ability to change direction/feint.
On the negative side - he’s not a very bulky (so could be overpowered easily by bigger opponents) and also short which he can’t do anything about obviously, so unless he can really jump, I would also question his ability to win aerial duels.
I’d be a little concerned about his decision making too - seems a rather narrow visioned in those promos and unwilling to make long passes which might show a tendency to be selfish on the ball when progressing play. Can he score goals?
Seems like good all round midfielder and for an 18 year old oozes raw talent so excited we have signed him but not sure he‘s ready for the EPL yet - needs some more development/tactical training and maturing physically maybe first I think.

Too short? Maybe we can get some lifts put in his football boots.
Yup quite common. Sometimes long queues for these medicals in England during the summer transfer window so its outsourced everywhere.
Yes, but when his work experience placement is over, we're f****d!

This window, we seem to be focusing heavily on blistering acceleration and close ball control rather than muscle, (though I reckon Weiffer will make a decent enforcer).
Got to remember, this is a very young player. Plenty of time for him to bulk out. He won't be a strapping 6 footer, but plenty of very good midfielders aren't.

He’s physically quite similar to Kante and he’s done alright. But unless he’s literally the new Kante I agree he’ll need some time. Fortunately he’s coming to the right club for that.Hans Solo seems to give the lad a lot of hype (which were, apologies, but TLDR as is this too!

Looks fantastic. Similar to Baleba in many ways; positionally of course, but both look explosive, like to run with the ball and put in a challenge and hugely inexperienced. I can’t see room for the two of them in our first team squad this season. I predict a loan
