Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte is eager to see captain Vincent Kompany play on.

Kompany's future is unclear – he is expected to talk to the club about an extension to a contract which expires this summer, but says he does not know yet whether he will stay.

But Laporte said: “He is a very important guy for us, for the club.

“I think he gives us a lot of things. He is an example for us.

“We have to improve and keep working with him because he can give a lot - and he is a very good guy on and off the pitch."
