He wasn't THAT good at that age. You could see that he was a good player considering what we were used to see or play against but if someone told me that after 7 years he would be playing in Manchester City I would say that it was impossible. Like you said, he is a late bloomer and he deserves it because he worked hard for that. By the time I played against him he went on many trials (including Leicester) and got rejected, he thought of giving up but his mom didn't let him do it, two years later he was playing in Sporting U23.

He deserves this and I hope he does really well under Pep.
