Manchester City have included a number of youngsters in their pre-season squad this summer - including exciting winger Joel Ndala.
There is no Phil Foden, no Jeremy Doku and no Bernardo Silva - but if Manchester City want a winger to excite fans on their pre-season tour they could have one who has been under their noses all along.

Last November he was first-choice left-winger for England at the U17 World Cup in Indonesia. Despite a disappointing tournament for the Young Lions, Ndala set up two goals in the opening 10-0 win over New Caledonia, before scoring in the next three games against Iran, Brazil and in the surprise defeat to Uzbekistan.
“From the first moment you could tell he was something special. It doesn’t happen much – he was spotted playing in the playground and the teacher gave us a call. He just had this belief in his own ability, even though he was such a young lad. Joel’s the best I’ve ever seen at that age. It was always like he was still playing in the playground.
