Manchester City are reportedly eyeing a £30million transfer ‘swoop’ for Brentford left-back Aaron Hickey. The 18-year-old Scottish international has only been with the Bees for a season, but has already managed to impress, causing Pep Guardiola to take note. Guardiola plans to revamp his options in defence and has also expressed interest in Fulham’s Antonee Robinson. However, the move for the USMNT international could be too costly, leaving Hickey as the more likely choice. Guardiola recently hinted at a reduced role for Kyle Walker, while Joao Cancelo faces an uncertain future after being loaned out to Bayern Munich in January. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City’s potential transfer move for Hickey will be successful.
Manchester City’s pursuit of Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell has hit a dead end after the defender signed a new contract with the London club. The Citizens were reportedly interested in Chilwell before he joined Chelsea in 2020 for a hefty £50 million price tag. However, recent reports suggested that the Englishman was once again on their radar. It appears that any hopes of a move have been dashed with Chilwell’s new deal, leaving Manchester City to pursue alternative options in the transfer market. With the transfer window still open for a few more weeks, it remains to be seen who will be donning the left-back position for Manchester City this season.

His dedication to success and determination to bring joy to the fans who have welcomed him with open arms shows that he is not only a skilled athlete, but also a true team player. The future is bright for Chelsea and their fans have every reason to be optimistic with this young talent on their side.
