His father said they had a system that ranked teams on points, with City coming on top of the list with some of the top teams in Europe.

"On our list, City is the best team. Bayern Munich is No.2. We have Real Madrid as No.3, Paris Saint-Germain No.4. We also have some English teams other than City who are quite good. Liverpool and Chelsea. Also, there is Barcelona. They are sort of in the same row.”

According to AS, his father, who played for the Citizens between 2000 and 2003, also influenced his decision to join City. However, the City goal machine feels a manager doesn't influence his decision.
