Cashin 'future captain material'
- Published
BBC Derby reporter Ed Dawes says Brighton's new signing Eiran Cashin will have no problem adapting to life in the Premier League.
Speaking to the Albion Unlimited podcast, Dawes said: "He's only 23 but he has played a lot of football. He went from the academy straight into the first team and I think he adapted really well.
"He is a head-it and kick-it man - he's hard. For a 23 year old, he is quite an old-fashioned defender; quite stocky, reading the game really well and not afraid of making big tackles.
"He is very good in the air because he is built. When he leaps, he climbs, and he will score goals from corners. The fact that he is a Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, he has clearly got something that all of the best analysts in the game have spotted.
"I think he will take [moving into a Premier League dressing room] in his stride. He will have no problem being the voice in the huddle to get people going. He might be future captain material.
"He is going to be a star."
