Rico Lewis gives verdict on Man City debutant Maximo Perrone

Rico Lewis believes Maximo Perrone performed as if he'd been with Manchester City 'for ages' in his debut.

City moved to sign highly-rated midfielder Perrone from Argentine side Velez Sarsfield in January and he was initially expected to train with the squad for the rest of the season without getting close to Pep Guardiola's side. As a result, eyebrows were raised when the 20-year-old was named on the bench for the defeat by Tottenham shortly after his arrival.

Perrone was then out of the squad until this week when he was on the bench for the Champions League stalemate with RB Leipzig with Kevin De Bruyne sidelined but despite the brilliant Belgian's return, he remained involved for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth.
