The midfielder is highly-rated at City with club Elite Development team manager and Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira once saying: "Jack is really young and not afraid – he really wants to play. He has taken the responsibility, and is a strong boy.
"Physically he is not impressive at all, but his technique and first touch are excellent and he always likes to play forwards."
