# Floyd Samba represents third country weeks after Man City breakthrough

**City youngster Floyd Samba’s remarkable few weeks have continued after the 17-year-old represented Germany at Under-19 level for the first time.**

Samba, who has previously played youth international football for England and France, was selected by Germany for a six-nation tournament in Spain shortly after making an extraordinary first-team breakthrough at [Man City](https://readmancity.com/).

The midfielder made his Germany U19 debut against Ukraine on 27 September, starting and playing 53 minutes of a goalless draw. He later started again as Germany completed the tournament unbeaten with a 1-1 draw against Czechia.

## Floyd Samba’s remarkable rise continues

The international development came just days after Samba announced himself to City’s senior supporters in emphatic fashion.

He scored twice on his first-team debut as Enzo Maresca’s side beat Norwich City 5-0 in the EFL Cup on 17 September, opening the scoring with a first-half header before adding his second after the break.

Samba’s subsequent involvement with Germany adds another intriguing element to the story of a player who has already represented England and France during his youth international career.

Representing different countries at youth level doesn’t necessarily determine which nation a player will eventually represent at senior level, leaving Samba’s long-term international future open.

For now, that decision can wait.

At 17, Samba has gone from scoring twice on his Manchester City debut to representing a third country at youth level within a matter of weeks. Amid all the noise surrounding City away from the pitch, his progress offers a welcome change of subject and another reason to watch the club’s academy closely.
