In the past season, Manchester City has been in the ascendancy, with the glory of the "Triple Crown", and the young player Saji O Gomes, who joined the team last year, is one of the indispensable contributors. Despite fierce competition from the likes of Nathan Akechi and Manuel Ajenci for the left wing position, he has made 12 appearances in the Premier League. What's more surprising is that Shaji O Gomes is now a member of the Spanish U21 national team, shining in the UEFA Europa League as a left wing, and has made it clear that he will stay at City next season to fight for a starting position.
The 22-year-old moved to City from Anderlecht last season for a transfer fee of £11 million (HK$110 million), and coach Diego Cortina sees him as a long-term investment. In this year's U21 UEFA Europa League, Sajio Gomez also showed his versatility, playing as a left wing, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist against Romania U21 in the first game, and again in the last round, helping Spain U21 win 1-0, becoming a sharp weapon in the attacking end of the team.
