Is it not just proper “he can do a job there” stuff though?

Regardless of where he’s played to date he was scouted and signed as a midfielder.

And I don’t think he’s outstanding technically so you could end up with him being a good lung merchant type right back going forward but not much else.

Defensively I don’t know, time will tell.

His attributes to play through the middle of the field and give us size and athleticism and a goal threat is pretty clear. He carries the ball well, too.

I’d stick with that to be honest and do the job of finding a right back properly, given we’ve needed one for going on 4 / 5 years.

It will be totally absurd if we get through the transfer window and we’ve not signed a player for that position.
