Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola praised young Lyon's Houssem Aouar.
After his team drew 2-2 in Lyon Tuesday night to secure his place in the Champions League last 16, Guardiola said the 20-year-old "is incredible".
British newspapers claimed that Aouar – an offensive midfielder – was wanted by Chelsea and Arsenal, as well as by Barcelona.
Pep Guardiola thinks Lyon has a lot of exciting young players.
Guardiola said: "Houssem Aouar is a very good player, he is unbelievable.
"We talk a lot about (Tanguy) Ndombele, but Aouar is also excellent, he is always very calm with the ball at his feet, with excellent technical quality.
"Lyon really has a very good team, there are young people full of quality and I think the team is tactically in place.
Manchester City has been beaten twice to draw 2-2 in Lyon and qualify for the last match.
"I think we can congratulate them, we had absences tonight, but we have to congratulate them."
Aouar – a France Under-21 international – joined Lyon while he was young from AC Villeurbanne and made his debut in the first team in April 2017.
