Comes across as very level headed with a want to improve mentality. Add that to his talent and it's understandable that Pep has put his faith in.

[@getrich6921]

He's really doing well. Everyone is Pep's camb is a genius

[@emberke7902]

It is true that Pep has a particular type of player. He likes the smart ones

[@Rodrisonfire16]

Can't believe Rico is just 18 and he plays like he has been playing for years!

[@mikeboden8417]

The lad is a natural talent with a strong work ethic and a football brain an that is coupled with the simple fact he is a genuine nice guy from reports inside the club and how he comes across.

[@official_littlewolf]

Always buzzed when I see him in the lineup. Rico is going places

[@JamestheBloodedFox]

hopefully he can add a little bulk like foden so that hes harder to push off the ball and at that point he would be very useful in both his current right back role and his inverted center mid role....because right now hes technically great for his age but hes in a very vulnerable position in the team and the cost of him losing the ball is huge in any game as when he loses it its almost a direct chance created for the opposition....but overall great lad hopeful to see how great he can become COME ON CITY!!!!!

[@colincolin5696]

He’s not that type of player, he’s an agile smaller faced paced player. If he bulked up and put weight on it wouldn’t work.. he’s gonna be class tho for city and England

[@dddffr4392]

@@colincolin5696he doesn’t mean put on 20kg, it’s just that Lewis is only 18 and footballers usually get physically better in their early 20s and they fill out their frame to become faster and stronger

[@danielodonnell3801]

Huge future for city and England

[@Tom_3566]

He’s such a baller for his age

[@abelmokopakgosi3300]

I cant believe I teared a bit listening to Rico here...i just love humility ❤

[@daviddentith2706]

Amazing player for his age , having watched him for a few years now his biggest attribute is his attitude cant buy that just look at some of Uniteds rabble

[@emmanueladeniyi2549]

Rico is to good for chelsea only wishes that when palmer made decision to leave he would have gone to another big club even if it means leaving england for the time being then come back later
