Giroud Warned Us About Ayyoub Bouaddi… Nobody Listened

Ayyoub Bouaddi is only 18, but Manchester City have already spent up to €100 million to sign him from Lille. And according to Olivier Giroud, the signs that Bouaddi was different were there long before City came calling. In this video, we look at Bouaddi’s incredible rise from Lille’s academy to Champions League football, including his performances against Real Madrid and Juventus, his decision to represent Morocco, and why Giroud compared the feeling around him to what he experienced watching a young Kylian Mbappé. We also break down why Manchester City and Pep Guardiola were willing to invest so heavily in one of football’s most exciting young midfielders. Can Bouaddi handle the pressure of Manchester City and become one of the best midfielders of his generation? Let me know what you think in the comments. #AyyoubBouaddi #ManchesterCity #ManCity #OlivierGiroud #Lille #PremierLeague #ChampionsLeague #Football
