It has been reported that Manchester City have another winger on their three-man shortlist apart from Jeremy Doku and Michael Olise.
This comes from Fabrizio Romano on his official YouTube channel, as Pep Guardiola’s men seem keen on reinforcing the right-wing position after Riyad Mahrez’s exit.
It seems like apart from Jeremy Doku and Michael Olise, Manchester City have another winger who they have set their sights on.
Fabrizio Romano: Manchester City targeting mystery winger apart from Jeremy Doku & Michael Olise
It was revealed on Tuesday that after the Crystal Palace sensation, the treble-winners were also showing interest in the Belgian dribbler’s signature.
Apart from the fact that Mahrez has left the Etihad Stadium, it is also key to emphasize that the club do not have a single established wide forward on their books.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has given an insight into the winger situation at Manchester City, mentioning names like Jeremy Doku and Michael Olise.
“Manchester City, asking about Belgian players have added Jeremy Doku to their list. There are two players in City’s list [Doku and Olise] and one more that at the moment can’t be mentioned”, he said.
Exciting to see Manchester City address this problem area
Names like Michael Olise and Jeremy Doku were already exciting and with another winger shortlisted by Manchester City, it is clear to see that they have no intention to rest on their laurels next season.
In all fairness, even if Riyad Mahrez had chosen to say this summer, his form had dipped significantly over the last two campaigns, which called for a change.
But aside from that, the addition of a winger is key, considering how important a role they play in Guardiola’s side as retainers of possession and maintaining width.
Whether it be Doku, Olise or the surprise option, it remains crucial that a new wide player who is capable of being deployed on the right is brought in.
