Doak surely not ready for EPL right now, but after the 1-3 season you can use him as a backup or impact sub. Mental skills in his age quite well, 10+ in almost all important attributes for a winger. As for the physics, 16-year-old is an agile and fast, but air play style definitely not for him. Technical abilities need to be improved, especially, if you want to use him as inside forward. Right now the best role for Doak is winger, if he will play in this role he will give all he got.
Ben Doak FM23 Wonderkid coach report in 2022
Doak has a lot of potential. No, really, if you develop him properly and carefully, with some time Ben will be a worldwide star. He is Driven, that is a good mentality for a player to grow. Fast speed and agility makes this player a good winger, who can go through defense easily. Coach notes about his good consistency and it can be better. But what you can’t see is a low loyalty skill. It’s hidden and lower than 10. On the other side, great adaptability. This means, if you want to bring him to another country, there is no problem with adaptation and Ben can enter the team fast.
Ben Doak FM23 Wonderkid Man City scout report in 2022
Manchester scout does not give any new information about Ben, except price and wage. Rivalry between teams influences the price, Liverpool wants for this young talent a lot of money. And the salary expectation is ridiculous, €2M for a year. For 16-year-old player. This is a football manager. Duh.

Conclusion
This player is an uncut diamond, and first of all, you will need a big money to buy him. Then a couple of years to polish Doak and prepare him for a first squad. If you want to wait, the price can be higher with time and player wage expectations too. From all sides, it’s a risky purchase. The cheapest way is to find some Colombian beast for €5-10M and raise him to Ben skills. Who knows, how the tide turns.
