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.
I just wanna say that I thought the r/soccer sub was the only true football sub on Reddit for several months. The content there is just…not football enough. I want to say that I love how passionate we are here. This type of question being asked here would be deemed as “stupid” or “why are you going so deep into that?” but it’s thought provoking. OP is wondering whether this 23yo gem has passed the point of no return. And that is worth examining, in my opinion. Thank you for being curious footballers to you reading this!!
