Manchester City academy coach, Gareth Taylor said to the official website of the Citizens saying:
“The new lads have settled well and that can only happen when you have a decent group that invites them in as there is a lot to take in when you come in to a new club – especially a club the size of ours – in terms of getting to know the staff, settling in where you live and what have you,”
”Sam Edozie has come from Millwall and it will be different environment for him, Liam Delap has come from Derby, another team that was really strong last season while Oscar Bobb and Oscar Tarensi have also joined us from overseas.”
