Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are eyeing a Super Eagles defender as a replacement for an ageing member of the team who is past his prime and needs to be replaced.
Guardiola is going through the worst form of his managerial career, which began in 2008 at FC Barcelona and currently has Man City sitting seventh on the Premier League table.
As noted by Premier League, City’s 2-0 win over Leicester City was their second in 15 games, coinciding with Pep Guardiola’s 500th game in charge and summer signing Savinho’s first goal for the club.
According to English tabloid Sun Sport, the champions have identified Super Eagles defender Ola Aina as the replacement for the 93 cals England international.
Aina, 28, has arguably been the best right-back in the league this season, steering Nottingham Forest into second place on the Premier League table and scoring his first two goals.
City’s interest is a reward for the hardworking defender who has rightfully earned his shot at a big club after failing to break into the first team at Chelsea after 12 years at the club.
