Manchester City fans will be loving what they’re seeing from Raheem Sterling in the current campaign as he’s gone up a couple of levels under Pep Guardiola.
Interestingly, it appears as if the Citizens are looking to build for the future at this moment in time, with the summer transfer window getting closer by the day.
What’s the news?
Manchester City are keen on Basel’s highly-rated winger Noah Okafor, according to the Express.
The youngster signed his first professional contract last January and is under contract until 2023.
Although, it’s believed that Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan have also been impressed by scouting reports.
Interestingly, The Nation Newspaper Nigeria claimed back in February of last year that many pundits are already tipping him to become the ‘next Kylian Mbappe’, so the Citizens could potentially bag themselves a future superstar if the 18-year-old lives up to the hype.
The Verdict:
Man City’s potential transfer ban has been worrying supporters recently, as it could stop them from adding to their squad in the near future. But, that hasn’t stopped them from looking at players with Noah Okafor in their sights.
The highly-rated winger could fill the void left by Rabbi Matondo who left to join German side Schalke back in the January transfer window. He’s very quick, can finish and has a bright future ahead of him having featured heavily for current club Basel this season, producing three goals and one assist in the Super League.
Supporters would be extremely excited if he walks through the door but Borussia Dortmund have a good track record of developing youth players, so City could lose out.
Manchester City fans, do you think Okafor is the man you should be looking at?
