"Manager Ruben Amorim said: "I am really pleased with Ayden. You can feel that he is improving every game. "He is young, but you can feel that he has a good game, slows the thinking and improves during the game. "He trained really well and, if he continues to play like that, it is going to be really hard to take his place.""
