I think he is very talented in terms of dribbling and ball control but in recent times whenever former footballers are asked about future balon d or contenders,his name is always mentioned but he is 23 years of age now and still he is not a starter for man City ,his best position is up for debate(rw or advanced 8)and while he has put in some good performances for city I have not seen enough from him to say he will be a future balon d or contender consistently. He seems like Bernardo Silva level player to me which is a very good player but not a balon d or contender(consistently) player.He also resembles him in style quite a bit.
It’s not a bad point as he’s a bit of a Milner (not a direct comparison, just as a City player who seems somewhat positionally homeless). For some reason, Guardiola plays him on the left instead of on the right; typically, Pep would place him where he could cut in and shoot on his stronger foot. But not with Phil (as with Jesus).
