Noubissie is said to be displaying performances well beyond his young age – with his work rate in midfield particularly lauded. The Livingston-born talent is eligible to play for several national teams, namely England, Scotland, Cameroon and France. L’Équipe understands that Noubissie would favour Les Bleus – the French FA have already contacted the player’s entourage. Noubissie is expected to feature with the Citizens’ U16 side this season. If all goes well, he is due to sign his first professionnal contract with Manchester City once he turns 17.
