Lack of pace is why he's not a top player, but he has a great right foot on him and is very aware of runners. He's very good but I don't think he's ever quite going to be elite, personally. Shame he's leaving Wolfsburg, if reports are true. He seemed like a good kid from what I'd read and he seemed to suggest only a little while ago that he was going to stay and try and achieve something there.
Anyway, would be a good signing for City, if it happens.
