Manchester City youngster Seko Fofana has credited his compatriot Patrick Vieira for his guidance during his youth years at Etihad Stadium.

The 19-year old has worked under Vieira as a part of City's Elite Development Squad and admits the former Arsenal captain has had a massive influence on his career thus far.

"Patrick Vieira has helped me to progress every day," he told Sky Sports.

"He was a big player in my position so his advice is good.

"He knows how to get the best from the group and I think he has the quality required to become a great coach."
