Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany has no doubts Dedryck Boyata will be a star.
The Belgian pair have played as defensive partners at City this season.
Kompany told ManC magazine: "For me, Dedryck has been the surprise of the season for us.
"I'm very pleased with Dedryck's development because being a talent, I believe, means very little.
"What means a lot to me is being willing to progress by listening to advice and criticism - and Dedryck has these qualities and has improved again this season and if he keeps going in the direction he is, you know he'll be able to stand his ground in a very good team."
