''I have followed him for a while and he is the right type of signing for us,'' said Jackett.
''He is 21 years old but he has experience having played at this level through last season with Brentford. So he has a nice blend of youth and experience.
''He is the type of player we want to be signing.
''He is both athletic and comfortable on the ball - that is what I am looking for with my midfield players.''
