Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has outlined his belief in youngster Joe Johnson.
The head coach recently admitted that Johnson is progressing at a rate he thought was not possible.
The 17-year-old came onto the field in the FA Cup against Everton last month to make his debut in the competition.
Speaking to reporters, Edwards said: “He's doing really, really well. We've got high hopes for him, we think he's got a high ceiling JJ.
"We still don't know what his best position will end up being as he's so comfortable on the ball. He could be a center back, could be a full back, a wingback for us, maybe to almost get in the team that's where he might come in initially. I can see him coming inside the pitch a little bit more as he gets stronger and more experienced, but we really like him. He's got a lot of tools, got a lot of skills and the big thing is as well is he's not finished growing and developing yet.
"So if he's doing what he's doing now while his body's still getting used to the growth and maturing, I think that's really exciting for us. He's progressed well, maybe a little bit quicker than what we anticipated, but we tried to be sensible with him as well. It's really hard as you want to progress young players and give them opportunities, but we're in the Premier League, arguably the toughest league in the world. To try and win games and get enough points to stay in the league and give young players a chance is a real fine balance and we're going to find that, but he trains with us really, really well.
“He's been training with us for a long time now, we're delighted with how he's progressed. He competes with our boys well, so he deserved that the other day and it was great to see him, on a big occasion, Goodison Park, the game meant a lot and for him to be on the pitch when we got the winner was great. He was excellent, I was really pleased with him. He defended really, really well, won some important duels, some important tackles, defended the box well, but looked really calm and composed in possession as well, which we know he is.
"I read that when we got the corner he was whipping the crowd up, fair play to him, he's got some personality. He'll never forget that now, a brilliant stadium like that and to get a last minute winner while he's on the pitch, it will be a big day for him."
