The 17-year-old is a left-back by trade, who Manchester City’s official website have labelled as “technically talented”, quick and “a strong defender who supports his defensive teammates.”
Players who have played for both Man City and Leeds United
19 players have played for both clubs in total.
Lienou will be aspiring to make his name at Leeds after developing at both Everton and Manchester City as well.
Some of the names include the likes of James Milner and Alf-Inge Haaland, who performed for both sides.

If the youngster manages to become a star in the Whites’ first-team, he would be in esteemed company.
However, unlike Milner and Alf-Inge Haaland, Lienou did not make an appearance for Manchester City’s first-team.
