Everything that Manchester City wanted to see from a young talent is shining through at Girona Claudio Echeverri remains a player for whom Manchester City has high hopes. The young playmaker is currently playing through his first full season in Europe. Echeverri endured a tough loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen during the first half of this season.

Claudio Echeverri barely played for Leverkusen before he joined Girona for the second half of this season. During his time at Girona, Echeverri has shown flashes of his undoubted talent in La Liga. There is no doubt that Manchester City will be thrilled to see Echeverri making an impact in Spain.

Claudio Echeverri grabbed his first goal and assist for Girona last weekend. Girona beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 last weekend. Claudio Echeverri came off the bench for the final twenty minutes of Girona’s win.

The young playmaker had a profound impact on his team’s win. Echeverri set up Girona’s second goal of the match in the 77th minute. The young, dynamic midfielder was played in behind the Bilbao defense before oncoming Bilbao keeper Unai Simon came out to seemingly stifle Echeverri’s chance.

Echeverri attempted a shot which was blocked and the ball ricocheted in the air. Claudio Echeverri produced a spectacular bicycle kick to pick out Azzedine Ounahi for a tap in. It was a stunning piece of play from Echeverri which perfectly encapsulates what makes him such a tantalizing prospect.
