Thierry Gale

Gale is a winger whose career has taken him through several European leagues most young English players never experience. He has played in Hungary, Georgia and Austria, picking up senior international caps for Barbados along the way. That well travelled background has given him a maturity in how he handles the ball under pressure, an edge a conventional academy route often does not provide. Football is a family trade too, since his father also played professionally and won honours in Barbadian football.

The obvious question is how quickly that experience translates once English defenders put him under a different kind of physical pressure. Wingers who thrive on the ball in calmer leagues can find the step up to a faster English game a shock to the system. Watch whether he keeps his composure once defenders start closing him down sooner than he has been used to.
