Not really the same with Guendouzi. He has actually played proper football (albeit in the French second division). The other examples of youngsters impressing are all kids from academy football. I think there’s a fair chance he goes above Elneny in the pecking order. He looks to have a much better range of passing. Although I agree that Xhaka will start.
