Manchester City youngster Jayden Braaf’s has displayed a ‘bad’ attitude in training of late and his path to the first team is currently ‘blocked’ – that’s according to The Athletic’s Sam Lee (reported via @City_Xtra on Twitter).
The 17-year-old has featured regularly in the Premier League 2 this season having made 12 appearances so far. Despite only being named in the starting line up in 60% of the club’s games, Braaf has managed to score five goals in the competition as he continues to develop his talent.
Does Jayden Braaf run the risk of spoiling his City career before it's even started?
Yes
No
Unfortunately for the young Dutchman, he is starting to develop another reputation for himself as something of a ‘maverick’ which is overshadowing the brilliance he’s shown on the field and it’s not gone unnoticed by the club’s loyal supporters.

What do we think?
Some supporters were quick to draw the comparison between the young Jayden Braaf and the club’s former player Jadon Sancho which seems a little unfair, although it isn’t hard to see why considering his desire to play regular first-team football appears to have paid off.
Sancho, now a fully-fledged England international and currently valued at £108m (via Transfermarkt.co.uk) made the move to Borussia Dortmund in search of more opportunities and to his credit, it’s paid off.
There might be interest in Braaf at the moment (as per The Daily Mail), however he may be in danger of wasting his undoubted talent due to his questionable attitude and that would be a huge shame.
