From January
Layton Ndukwu is one of City’s brightest attacking starlets, although he is another whose season has been wrecked by injury.
The 20-year-old scored three goals in the first four games of the campaign – his performance in
the 4-1 win over Blackburn remains one of the best individual display of the season – to earn a player of the month nomination, but he has been sidelined with a back problem since.
City will hope to have him back soon, so he can start pulling the strings once again.

Despite his languid style, Ndukwu is an intelligent player and is excellent at creating space for himself and sliding through passes.
He is adept with both feet and, playing out wide or as a no.10, is not frightened of a spectacular effort from distance.
He has already caught Puel’s eye and featured on a few occasions in pre-season.
