​Man City defender Latibeaudiere urges youngsters to move overseas

Manchester City youngster Joel Latibeaudiere believes that fellow young players should try and play abroad.

The 20-year-old defender spent this season on loan at Dutch side FC Twente.

"100 per cent, just because of the chances you get out there," he said.

"It [the Eredivisie] was a lot more tactical. Because we weren't one of the top, top teams in the Eredivisie, we had to try and get an edge tactically as well.

"So we would set up in different ways to press oppositions and different ways to play around and find their weaknesses.

"Whereas, when I'm at City, we're a dominant team, so we know we can play our way most of the time. It was good to learn how to play differently for different oppositions.

"Now I've got a taste for it, it's given me that motivation to know that I can do it myself. I'm just going to keep pushing myself now and try and get there."
