Man City manager Maresca urges patience with new signing Bouaddi

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has praised the club's new signing, 18-year-old Moroccan midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, on Thursday. Maresca stated that the club will take a cautious approach as Bouaddi adjusts to life in England. The teenage player, who played at this year's World Cup, is described as fit, calm, and more mature than his age. Maresca noted that the young Moroccan will help the team both now and in the future.

During the interview, Maresca also provided an update on the injury status of fellow midfielder Elliot Anderson, who left the recent match against Bournemouth due to cramp. Anderson is reported to be fine, while Matheus Nunes is not fully fit after coming off the bench in that game, and Jeremy Doku remains out.

Maresca also commented on the departure of forward Omar Marmoush, who is rumored to have interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Discussions are ongoing with forward Jack Grealish, who may leave the club before the transfer window closes. However, Maresca declined to comment on City's transfer plans, emphasizing that anything could happen during the window and that they will have to wait and see.
