Manchester City’s signing of Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland is almost official, and the Premier League champions have their sights set on improving their transfer market position.
Leicester City’s Ben Nelson, a young centre-back who would boost City’s homegrown quota, is the latest player to be linked with a move to the blue side of Manchester.
This season, the young English defender has been battling for a place in Leicester’s first team. However, due to City’s interest in the youngster, he may never play for the Foxes on a regular basis.
However, with Brendan Rodgers set to offload Jannick Vestergaard this summer, Nelson has a clear path into the senior set-up, which could tempt him to stay despite City’s interest.
The Champions League semi-finalists are also said to be monitoring Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips, a homegrown talent who could provide competition for Rodri if Fernandinho leaves this summer.
