"I must say from the very first day from my first training session, he showed up," Rangnick told BBC Sport.

"l had heard his name before and I was in my hotel room watching videos of him on YouTube, I thought this boy was really good.

"He was almost on his way out on loan, I told him you will not go out on loan, you will say here. He has developed in training."
