The 22-year-old is considered to be one of football’s most exciting young talents but struggled in his professional debut for the Cityzens.

The Manchester City boss also added “its good for him to see the reality of new country, new league” and that he is not worried.
"He had chances, two or three in first half and one at the end. He fought a lot, made the movements. It's good for him to see the reality of new country, new league, but he was there. He didn't score. Another day he will score," Guardiola said, reported ESPN.
“He has an incredible quality on that and he will do it. He has an incredible sense. He is going to help us a lot -- he had the chances, he was there. Nothing changed. He is strong. Another time he will put it in the net, what's the problem? It's football, he was there.
“He has the talent, he will do it. It's good to understand, I am not worried about that. The reality is that the season is a long 11 months, so intense, games every three days, but he is going to help us, I'm sure of that,” he added.
