Hear this often regarding John-Jules but does he have enough goals in him?
Last season:

U23: 17 games, 6 goals, 2 assists.
U18: 7 games, 8 goals, 3 assists.

He’s not as prolific as Nketiah or Balogun but his all round game is superior for me, he’s more of a Firmino/Lacazette whilst the other two are pure goal scorers, that’s not to say they don’t have good all round games as well but John-Jules is just brilliant.

He actually gets into good goalscoring positions quite regularly but as you say, hasn't produced the kind of record that Nketiah/Balogun has.

Bare in mind that Rashford also didn't have an amazing record for the youth teams and he still demonstrated some level of danger at the top level. Nketiah, albeit highly dangerous, has on occasion let the hunger for goals best him.
