If he is wheelchair transferred to the gate would it be considered unreasonable of me to book him an exit row seat?
If he is registered disabled that would disqualify him from sitting in an exit row.

Safety requirements for sitting in an exit row seat
You must meet certain Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) safety requirements to sit in an exit row seat.
You must be a non-disabled adult in full fitness and able to understand printed and verbal instructions given in English.
You must be willing and able to assist in the unlikely event of an emergency evacuation.
You will be asked to confirm you meet the CAA safety requirements before you can reserve an exit row seat.
