Rico Lewis lays out his Man City ambitions

Manchester City youngster Rico Lewis is hoping to become a key member of the first team in the coming months and years.

The talented midfielder came through into the first team as a full-back, but is now getting more chances in his ideal role.

Lewis, who can play in both full-back spots and anywhere in midfield, has the versatility manager Pep Guardiola desires.

“Here at City, it's probably better to be more versatile because of the formations we play and the different positions I can play in and for me at the moment I can get more minutes on the pitch playing in different positions," he told The National.

“But at some point I hope to settle into a position and I do like playing midfield the most."

“Obviously, every season is different but I feel the same again," added Lewis on the team's chances of lifting more silverware.

“With the players we've got, there's no reason why we don't aim to try to win everything all over again. It's not good enough at Manchester City just to win something once and I think we can do it again."
