Azeez has barely even begun at U23 level, much less first team. The trend in football right now is that young attacking midfielders, even the most elite of prospects, are not really being bedded into the first team at top clubs until their early 20s at least: Ødegaard, Aouchiche, Gomes, Reinier, Brahim, etc. etc.
Anyways, as you point out, Azeez is not really an attacking midfielder either, he profiles as about as creative as Ceballos (think in projecting, that Ceballos at Azeez's age at lower levels was a major creative force) if we're lucky.
But if we wanted to go with youth surely we would've just signed Aouchiche or Gomes who are two elite young 10 prospects. Probably someone else I'm forgetting too.
