A New Star Rises in Manchester Ayyoub Bouaddi's impressive debut in the Champions League has generated significant buzz about whether Manchester City have discovered their next big talent.
The 18 year old Moroccan midfielder made a name for himself at this summer's World Cup, and his performance against Porto on Tuesday night only added to the hype surrounding him.
Bouaddi's maturity beyond his years is evident in his ability to think on his feet and make decisive passes – a rare quality in any player, let alone one so young.
