Insiders have revealed that the 19-year-old midfielder is ready for higher level competition. 

"He is one of the few players who can play both in defence and midfield. He is a leader and that's why he is the captain at the DDC side. The coaches have seen what he can do and that's why they have given him the chance to train with the senior team. They want to keep most of their youngsters and that's why they give them the chance to train with the senior team so that they get used to the system and culture of the club," the source said.

Meanwhile a different source added that the youngster is destined for topflight football soon if he can just keep his head down.

"He is grounded and disciplined and if he continues like this his future is bright. This chance to train with the main team is the way forward for him. I think what the management and technical team are doing is good in helping the team and the players themselves.
