Pep Guardiola has now included Kane Taylor, Max Alleyne and Mahamadou Susoho in training at Manchester City.
That is according to the Manchester Evening News.
So, what is the situation involving the three young talents at Manchester City? Let’s take a look…
Guardiola names City Football Academy talents in Manchester City training
Well, the Spaniard has made a habit of giving some of the City Football Academy’s top performers an opportunity to impress him in training.
Guardiola named Micah Hamilton in training ahead of the UEFA Champions League clash against BSC Young Boys in Switzerland, which Manchester City won 3-1.
The 52-year-old then included Alfie Harrison in training before BSC Young Boys lost 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday 7th November.
Now, Guardiola has handed chances to Taylor, Alleyne and Susoho as Manchester City prepare to take on Red Star Belgrade in Serbia on Wednesday.
Who are Kane Taylor, Max Alleyne and Mahamadou Susoho?
Well, the trio undoubtedly deserve this opportunity – they have all starred in the youth ranks this season.
Taylor – who was signed from Aston Villa in 2019 – is described as a “powerful midfield presence” on Manchester City’s official website, as well as a “player always looking to impact the game at both ends” of the pitch.
In regards to Susoho, the Spaniard is said to be a “tenacious defensive midfielder with an eye for a pass” who has impressed since arriving in 2017.
Last but not least, Alleyne.
The Bristol-born prodigy sounds like he could be another John Stones based on how Manchester City have described him.
As again seen on Manchester City’s official website, Alleyne is profiled as a composed, ball playing central defender who can also step into midfield thanks to his passing skills.
Hopefully – with Manchester City already through to the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 – we can catch a glimpse of a City Football Academy diamond in Serbia this Wednesday.
