Man City youngster Ntcham flourishing at Genoa

Olivier Ntcham impressed local media outlets with his performance for Genoa on the weekend.


The 19-year-old French midfielder, who is on a season-long loan from Manchester City, produced a composed 90 minutes in the Rossoblu's 2-0 home win over Hellas Verona in Serie A.

Labelled as 'Il Migliore' (The Best) by this particular paper, Ntcham starred for Gian Piero Gasperini's side following his debut in the 1-0 loss at Palermo on opening weekend.

Ntcham posted the following on Twitter:

A rough translation of the analysis of Ntcham's game reads: “A prototype of a champion: the French boy wipes out room and put in trouble the tactical wait-of Verona. Race and class that enhance the fans."
