Don't think it will work. In the center there is far more traffic. You have to constantly bounce off players, be strong on your feet. There is more space wide for his qualities imo.
Half his problems comes from trying to do too much. He believes his hype too much already which is a problem. Nobody actually expects him to be among the best players at his age, and certainly no one expects him to dribble 2-3 players constantly like Messi did.
He should focus on his shooting more and try to improve that part of his game, misses too many good chances with poor shots. Once players get used to his style, it's very unlikely he will continue to dribble players for fun. As other said, his pace is not something special, and tricks only get you so far. He is a playmaker first. So pass the ball more.
You are not a scorer like Mbappe, and not a super fast speedster like Dembele.
Last season he didn't seem as obssessed with going for the goal himself so often. He took less shots and scored more goals as a result, because the opponent never knew what he would do. Playmaking has gone down, and he wants more goals. And he's not really that good at scoring goals, unless they are bangers.
