Hype was 100% merited before his knee exploded. Finishing and positioning were genuinely incredible for his age, he looked like a seasoned striker with 8 top-flight seasons under his belt.

His knee exploding robbed him of his ability to dribble and create and get into the positions where he can really shine though (also last seasons tactics were poorly suited to his strengths). I think he’s likely to be converted to a 9 very soon where he isn’t as pace/dribble-dependent.
