Manchester City have failed to impress this season, with the club failing to strike any sort of consistency.

Pep Guardiola hasn’t had it all his way at the start of his first campaign at the Etihad but the signs are there that improvements can be made, and respectable pushes for the title can be made.

And with January now upon us, it’s an exciting time for everyone at the Etihad with the rumours of potential incomings and outcomings whizzing all over the place as the month continues.

And here in the pub, the punters are full of ideas for potential signings and with a huge bank of cash always available at the Etihad, there’s little doubt there will be players coming in at one point or another.

So with that in mind, we think City should be targeting some real starlets in the coming days.

Here’s THREE Football League prospects City should be sizing up for next week……

Charlie Taylor

Leeds left-back Charlie Taylor is one of the hottest prospects around right now and we think he’s the sort of player that would really thrive at the Etihad.

We’ve seen former Everton defender John Stones make the effortless transition into the first-team at City and Taylor is certainly the sort of player that, in a couple of years time, could be playing for England.

Ryan Sessegnon

He’s the 16-year-old star that has taken the Championship by storm this season and there is little doubting Fulham defender Ryan Sessegnon is destined for a career at the top.

He’s in Slavisa Jokanovic’s squad mostw eeks and he’s showing quality and composure beyond his early years.

He’d be an exciting investment and a player that could turn out to be one of the best in the world, with the right development.

Aaron Morley

Keith Hill has never been afraid to get young talent into his squads and the same can be said for Aaron Morley, who has turned out to be one of the most exciting players we’ve seen at Spotland in years.

Despite City fans here in the pub not being all too aware of who he is right now, there’s plenty of Football League fans who have been keeping an eye on the 16-year-old and his continued development.

Buying him and even loaning him back to Rochdale would be a good option, even if it’s to see how he grows in the coming months.
