It\u2019s a dream to be here and be able to call myself a City player. I have spent most of my life working hard to become the best player I can be and reach the top of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve watched City for many years, and I love their style of play. City always try and play quality football. And they have shown they are winners \u2013 this club feels like it\u2019s built to win. The squad is world-class and Enzo is a top manager. And I\u2019m really looking forward to playing at the Etihad Stadium, in front of all the fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have plenty of improving to do. I am only 18. I am happy with the progress I have made so far, but I also know I can improve so much. This is undoubtedly the best place for me to do that. This club demands trophies and I will give everything to make sure we are challenging for every title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Blues\u2019 director of football, Hugo Viana, said of acquiring a future superstar: \u201cAyyoub\u2019s potential is extremely high &#8211; a player equipped with everything a top midfielder needs. At just 18, he already has outstanding football intelligence and that will only improve under the guidance of Enzo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have watched him very, very closely and throughout that process we have become increasingly convinced he is a huge talent who will thrive at City. We are really happy he has joined us and our job now is to ensure we provide him with everything he needs to fulfil his potential.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bouaddi believes that he is in the best possible place for full potential to be unlocked in his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":609490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[276122,6947,85,46,2617,2619,32749,101477,105],"class_list":["post-609489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-a-bouaddi","tag-exclusive","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-manchester-city","tag-premier-league","tag-rodri","tag-s-busquets","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/609489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/609490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=609489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=609489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
