As far as I can tell he doesn't have any defensive responsibilities for Spurs, so you can't really call him a midfielder.
And he is okay going forward, but nothing special. So, is he another English player being completely over-hyped?

Speaking as a Spurs fan, I think the hype probably is justified when you consider his age and what he's doing in terms of his stats. It's something that is rare for any foreign player let alone an Englishman. He could definitely be more clinical in front of goal as he is prone to missing the sitters despite the numbers he does actually score. That in itself helps to raise his potential, as imagine how many he'd be scoring if he was more clinical?
He should be seen as an attacking midfielder, rather than as a deeper lying midfielder with more defensive responsibilities. His strength is obviously getting into opportunities to score and his work around the box. That's what he's best at.
