Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club is ‘already drawing up plans’ on a potential new left-back, with a view to signing one next summer.
The full-back spot in particular remains an issue throughout Pep Guardiola’s time at the club. The reigning Premier League champions are still on the hunt for a left-back With Benjamin Mendy currently suspended by the club.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is City’s only recognisable left-back at present, though Pep Guardiola has been able to call upon Joao Cancelo to operate in that role.
Despite the success of Cancelo this season at left-sided full-back, it appears as though Manchester City’s long-term recruitment plans will feature the signing of a new player in that position.
According to Jack Gaughan of the Daily Mail, via Manchester City fans podcast, Blue Moon, Pep Guardiola’s side are ‘already drawing up plans’ on who the club can secure at left-back next summer.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, many Man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.

Don’t even need one rather get a back up for Walker

Keep cancelo there and just get a New RB to challenge walker. Getting Pedro Porro back from sporting will be good

Whoever it is will have to be second choice cause I can’t see anyone displacing Cancelo
