Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits Oleks Zinchenko sacrificed his attacking game to make it with the Sky Blues.
Guardiola concedes the Ukraine international has all the ability to run the midfield of a lesser team.
In paying tribute to his young left-back, the City manager explained: "Zinchenko can play as a No10, but we use him on the left in defence.
"He is a very high quality player and a very funny guy.
"He has a big heart."
