Since making his debut in Manchester City’s 4-0 home victory over Bournemouth in August, 18-year-old Rico Lewis has delighted Pep Guardiola with his emergence into first-team reckoning.
Lewis’s first start for City came in the Champions League against Sevilla, an occasion he marked with his only professional goal to date in a 3-1 win, and he has now amassed 16 appearances for the first team, including six Premier League starts.
Lewis has been used in both full-back positions as well as in central midfield by Guardiola, and he has looked a seasoned veteran wherever he has played with his composure and passing abilities which has turned heads.
