It had appeared all week that Manchester City were poised to make their moves in the transfer market. Patrick Berger’s report shows that City aren’t standing still. Pep Guardiola’s squad is in desperate need of reinforcements. Injuries and the loss of form from several of City’s defenders have cost them dearly this season. By making a move to sign Abdukodir Khusanov it shows that City are aware of the issues that must be addressed. Khusanov is also only 20-years-old. Given his talent and potential he could contribute now and be a key player in Manchester City’s rebuild. As a player he ticks both of those boxes which a bonus for the world champions.

Manchester City look to have made their first move of the January transfer window. It likely won’t be their last as they are intent on strengthening their squad this month.
