Vulliez explained: "It was a key moment because he realised that if Toko Ekambi left, Bradley could be a solution and there was an opportunity to use him. "He developed his intelligence," pointed out Vulliez."He was able to scan the pitch, take good information and use the space.



"He is very clever with his runs inside." The timing of those movements is an important trait."Because he played as a striker, he retains that ability to know when he needs to come inside and when he needs to run beyond. "We never had a problem with him at the academy because he is intelligent and listens so when you are the coach that makes it easier to manage him because he can adapt to whatever strategy the coach wants to use.

He understands because he is clever."I do not think you can transform a player after the age of 17 because if the player does not have the intelligence at that age then they will never have it.
