MANCHESTER, United Kingdom (AFP) â Ayyoub Bouaddi is âready to goâ for his Manchester City debut at Crystal Palace on Friday, but Enzo Maresca called for patience with the most expensive teenager in Premier League history.
A star of Moroccoâs run to the World Cup quarter-finals, the 18-year-old joined City on Wednesday for an initial 100 million euros (ÂŁ85.6 million,US $117 million) from Lille.
City moved for Bouaddi after selling a trio of midfielders in Spainâs World Cup-winning captain Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders and Nico Gonzalez in recent weeks.
