Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola wants to sign a replacement for left-back Benjamin Mendy, who suffered another injury setback this week.
The Sky Blues are targeting Real Betis star Junior Firpo who is said to be valued at around £44mand is also of interest to Arsenal, according to the Sun.
Firpo’s defensive solidity coupled with his work-rate and ability to offer a great attacking outlet down the left flank arguably makes him perfect for Guardiola.
The 22-year-old star has impressed so far this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists in 13 appearances in all competitions.
Time will tell if City are willing to splash out on transfer, or if they do try to find another stop-gap solution and wait for Mendy to recover.
