Manchester City leaders are interested in the services of Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney. "Citizens" are looking to bring a left-back to the club, and the London talent is on City's list. The news has been confirmed by the prestigious 90 min, as after the departure of Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal, Pep Guardiola does not have a distinguished name on the left side of the defense in the team.
Joao Cancelo, who is naturally a right-back, has been activated on the left wing to fill the void in City's defensive department. However, Pep Guardiola is looking for a player who is naturally active on the right-back to help the team meet their targets for the new season.
The Spanish coach appreciates the experience that Tierney has in the Premier League, but it seems that Arsenal are not yet ready to give up on the defender. This despite the approach of Zinchenko, who is activated in the same position as Tierney. The Ukrainian started the season on the left wing, but this was due to Tierney's absence due to injury. Mikel Arteta has planned that after the Scot has recovered, Zinchenko will be activated in his preferred role in midfield.
Considering that the transfer of Kieran Tierney is a complicated and expensive move, Manchester City leaders are also looking at a number of other alternatives. Among them is Benfica's Alex Grimaldo. The latter has been under Arsenal's target before. City have also been offered the chance to sign Atletico Madrid's Renan Lodi. "Citizens" meanwhile are very close to finalizing the agreement with Sergio Gomez of Anderlecht. The latter started his career as a midfielder, but over time he consolidated on the field as a left defender.
