Extend the 2 years left on his contract

Blistering Braiden

Fin ISH er.

Braiden Bags.

Other than a bit lightweight at the moment I'd love to see him given game time over Beto, from what I have seen of him over the last few years if he gets a chance he generally bags.

The quality of Graham's finishing is the thing that stands out most for me, looks a decent dribbler too.

He's an absolute bagsman.

His finishes are really good but the big big big thing I think is how quickly he can shoot? Gets his shots off instantly in the box no matter how awkward it is, set shoot.

Hate to say it but best in the world at this is Salah who needs literally half a second and is able to set his body and find whatever type of shot is comfortable, and I've seen Graham bow with bouncing balls, balls he's had to control, 1v1s, and he just sorts his feet and buries it. As natural a finisher you'll ever see.

Only issue is, he looks so young, small and slight.

Hard to tell with youth I think, I'm sure someone else will have a better opinion, but I can't wait to see his first loan spell whenever that is.

Yeah needs a good loan spell against some old school League One centre backs or something.

The thing with Armstrong is he has played in the Championship twice and both times he excelled against all sorts of jobber midfielders with not the same the protection you get in the PL, if Graham can do something similar in the near future we may have a really good player on our hands.

We're so big man oriented in our setup. We're not playing a two up top except when desperate. Do we think he'll get a run soon? Looks dammed good though. Top finishes.

Twice is nice from Braiden Brace

The best thing since Jimmy Greaves

Only just turned 18.

Hard to tell what he might be like physically at this stage, lots of time to become a strong, powerful runner if needed.

Looking forward to seeing him develop.

Not the same obviously but he played for linfield as a 15 year old a few times and actually bagged a great goal, it's on YouTube. First time finish into the top bin. Again taken lightning fast!

That Olayiwola looks a player too
