"You never know, it is like a watermelon, you have to open and see if it is good or not," Guardiola said after the game.

"The perspective was good. He is a young talent and he has a huge mentality. He is so aggressive.

"He wants to become a good player. He has dreams and he has things he wants to do in the future in his career. That helps a lot.

"He wants to do something in the world of football and, of course, we are going to try to help him get it for us.

"He is a guy who attacks the goal and wants to score goals."
