This time last year, Rico Lewis was still an under-18s player for Manchester City, with only three under-23 appearances to his name.
Now, he's arguably City's first-choice right-back ahead of Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo - who have 114 international caps and 21 major trophies between them - and is said to be close to earning a new contract at the Etihad.
Pep Guardiola has praised and challenged Lewis in equal measure, yet his position in the squad has accelerated since the World Cup. When Arsenal visit in the FA Cup on Friday, he could well be dropped in order to give Walker or Cancelo some much-needed game-time.
