<\/p>\nManchester City sensation Rico Lewis has revealed his grandad toured with Oasis.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old has been hugely impressive for the champions this season and there has even been talk of a call-up to Gareth Southgate\u2019s England squad. Lewis has a fascinating back story as well, thanks to his musician grandad, plus a passion for Muay Thai boxing.<\/p>\n
His grandad, an ardent City fan, is a talented bassist who joined Liam and Noel Gallagher on a tour during the Manchester band\u2019s heyday, Lewis divulged during an interview with the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a big City fan as well, he\u2019s over the moon when I play.\u201d<\/p>\n Lewis, who hails from Bury, has proved he can handle himself since breaking into Pep Guardiola\u2019s side. That may be thanks to his long-time love of Muay Thai, a form of kickboxing. After joining a club near his home, he was undefeated in 30 fights as a child. After joining City\u2019s youth set-up, he had to give up fighting, but his still trains in the martial arts.<\/p>\n How far can Rico Lewis go? Tell us in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u201cPre-season this year I was with my dad in the gym,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s a completely different type of fitness, really good for continuous power. You\u2019ve always got to be on your toes, constantly moving, moving your hips. It\u2019s helped massively with balance, especially playing that midfield role with the turning and keeping your balance. Protecting the ball is a big thing for the manager, people who can keep it.\u201d<\/p>\n Next year\u2019s European Championship in Germany will probably come too soon for Lewis, who is part of England\u2019s under-21 squad. However, the teenager is certainly in Southgate\u2019s thoughts.<\/p>\n "I think he is developing really well, he is very comfortable with the ball, but he plays in a very specific role for Manchester City," said Southgate recently. "[They are] sort of playing him as a high eight and he fits into their system brilliantly.<\/p>\n "I think internationally, at the moment, his development at this moment in time is best served with the under-21s. But without doubt we are watching him, plus the likes of Cole Palmer and Tino Livramento in particular."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article30044060.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/1_JS300613440.jpg\")
