Guardiola: Rodri is so quick in his thinking Premier League Spoke about the new signing

Rodrigo Hernandez made his first appearance in a Manchester City shirt as he featured in a 4-1 victory over West Ham on Wednesday and Pep Guardiola has praised the Spaniard.

Guardiola outlined exactly what makes the 23-year-old so special.

"He is a tall guy, which for a short team like we are is very good," he told the club's official website.

"It's good for set-pieces, but that's not why we bought him.

"He is young, a typical holding midfielder who is so quick in his thinking.

"We expect him to have a long career with our club.

"Since we arrived, we tried to get players who are 21, 22, or 23 years of age.

"He is in the national team and in Spain they call him the second Sergio Busquets, so I think we have a good player."
