EPL report: Pep Guardiola Man City set to add £75m wing wizard who could cost premier league defence wall to shake more than Doku” deal imminent” report.
Last season, Manchester City created history by becoming the first team in the Premier League’s history to win four straight championships. After a close battle for the trophy, Pep Guardiola’s team emerged victorious over Arsenal, and they have now ruled the division for the past four years.
In the forthcoming season, the Cityzens will now aim to surpass the record they have just set by winning the Premier League five times in a row.
The team may yet attempt to enter the market during the summer transfer window in order to bolster the playing roster despite their recent and spectacular performance in the league.
After his team’s failure to win the domestic cups or the Champions League the previous season, Guardiola may try to expand his options on the field in order to fight on all fronts. According to reports, the Spanish head coach is eager to get better in the wide areas because this month he became the target of another Premier League team.
Manchester City eyeing Premier League wizard
According to Football Insider, Manchester City have joined the race to sign £75m-rated Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
The report claims that the Cityzens have ‘registered an interest’ in the England international ahead of a possible swoop for his services this summer.
It states that they are now battling it out with fellow Premier League giants Liverpool to snap up the former Everton academy graduate to bolster their wide options.
Football Insider adds that Arne Slot’s Reds have already held talks with Newcastle over a potential deal to sign Gordon but their demands have put them off going any further at this point.
The outlet reveals that Guardiola wants to add a ‘lethal’ forward to his ranks and the English speedster has been identified as a target to fulfill that desire.
Gordon has two years left on his contract at St. James’ Park but Football Insider does not state how much the Magpies are seeking in terms of a fee for the forward.
Liverpool being put off by their demands suggests that they are looking for a sizeable amount of money for the talented wizard, but it remains to be seen exactly how much it will take.
If City do decide to press ahead with a deal for Gordon and pay the fee Newcastle are demanding, though, then they could land an instant upgrade on Jeremy Doku.
