This Widell chap does look like the kind of player we need, even if we have to wait.
Time will tell if he'll be able to make it in the Championship, but as long as we don't try and coach all his instincts out of him, we'll at least have a high energy, attack-minded forward driving player in midfield. YouTube compilations obviously need to be approached with huge caution, but watch one of him and you're going to be impressed with how he plays the game. My biggest worry would be that we coach all the good things out of him, or tactically nullify him.
He reminded me a bit of Ntcham when he was in full flow, which didn't happen often because, as you rightly point out, he was usually tactically nullified by being stuck out on the flanks all the time.
That physical presence in the centre, driving play forward is precisely what we need.
