Ayyoub Bouaddi, the Moroccan talent who joined Manchester City for 95 million euros this summer, has made a big impact. He made his first starting appearance in the match against FC Porto, where Manchester City won 2-0. Both Erling Haaland and Clarence Seedorf have praised the 18-year-old midfielder. Haaland said, "He's incredible in training, I've discussed it with the chairman. We have a top talent." However, Haaland also pointed out a potential area for improvement, saying, "He played a great game, but in the second half, he should have passed the ball to me; I was completely alone." Clarence Seedorf believes Bouaddi is an exceptional talent, saying, "Some people find him slow, but that was also the case with Busquets. To maintain possession of the ball so well at his age, position himself accurately, and read the game intelligently is exceptional."
