Highly-rated English-born Ghanaian starlet Denzeil Boadu marked his return from a seven-week injury lay-off with a goal and an assist for Manchester City's U21 side as they slipped to a 6-2 loss against Leicester City on Monday evening.Â
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder scored the leveller for a Manchester City side handled by French legend Patrick Vieira before assisting Citeh's last goal.
Denzeil Boadu signed on as a scholar for City in July 2013 after leaving Arsenal and has flourished at the club.
An agile and skilful footballer, Boadu has impressed in a City shirt playing just behind the main striker, using his strength in possession and eye for a killer pass to set up chances for his teammates.
But the Londoner is no slouch in front of goal himself, and he scored seven league goals for the u18s in his first season in a City shirt.
An England youth international, Denzeil shone for the Young Lions at u17 level in the Nordic Tournament in 2013, grabbing a first international hat-trick and notching four goals in as many games for Kenny Swain’s men.
Those he is playing for the English at youth level, he could play for Ghana.
