The Belgian's assured performances since his arrival from Hamburg in the summer transfer window have drawn praise from City manager Mark Hughes, who is pleased that the 22-year-old is striving for better.
Mark says, "He has had a real impact since he arrived here. He's quite intense at times, but very focused and a good professional. He wants to be better than he is now, and he is enjoying playing in the Premier League.
"When he makes a mistake he can get very down on himself, but I think that's a good trait to have. That shows the type of person and the type of player that he is.
"He had another great game against Arsenal, was very strong & resolute when he needed to be and he's always looking to free people up in the forward areas."
Vincent's debut against West Ham in August saw him slot into central defence after an injury to Micah Richards, and although he accepts that it's a position he looked equally at home with, the Manager is adamant that the player is best suited to his holding role in the City midfield.
He adds, "He plays very well at centre-back, we watched the game against Spain in the last international break and he was outstanding there. Vincent himself enjoys midfield, though, and that's where he is for us because it is a position where we are a bit light. That's where he will stay for the foreseeable future."
Vincent's time in the Bundesliga with Hamburg could be invaluable when City play Schalke 04 on Thursday night, and his experience despite his relatively young age is another plus-point for the Manager.
"People may forget how young he is in years and experience, but he has played a good deal at the top level throughout Europe, and he has a few big games under his belt. Playing in the Premier League will help him develop as a player."
