City Transfer: Manchester City in talk talks to sign an exciting young duo linked with Man Utd
Manchester City are looking to flex their muscles in the transfer market against their rivals Manchester United as they plan talks to sign an exciting young duo, it has been reported.
Man City looking to make it five in a row
Pep Guardiola’s side are looking to make it an unprecedented five consecutive Premier League titles this season, and have started in a strong fashion even if the performances are not perhaps of the same quality as in previous years.
Still unbeaten after seven games, the Cityzens are just a point behind current league leaders Liverpool and are level with last season’s runners-up Arsenal, who have an identical record to Guardiola’s side.

It could have been very different, with a late John Stones goal rescuing a point at home against the Gunners deep into injury time, while they flattered to deceive against Fulham, edging to a 3-2 win that could have been very different had Adama Traore been able to match his blistering pace with a suitable finish on any of his chances.

One of the brighter sparks for the Cityzens so far this season has been academy graduate Rico Lewis, who has become a first-team regular at the Etihad after several years as a rotation option. Now, City want to keep that conveyor belt moving.
Man City plan transfer talks for teenage duo
That comes as The Mirror report that Man City are looking to open talks with Swansea teenage duo Harlan Perry and Brogan Popham, with cross-city rivals Manchester United also aiming to sign the pair.
It is claimed that both the Red Devils and Guardiola’s side “have scheduled meetings with the teenage duo’s representatives after registering an interest in their services.”
A 17-year-old central defender, Popham is yet to sign professional terms with the Swans, and “is understood to have made a strong impression upon scouts” at both clubs, while Perry is a 16-year-old central midfielder who is also catching the eye, though he is unable to move until he turns 17 next month.
Both are already age-group internationals for Wales, and are predicted to have bright futures in the sport. With both Manchester sides tussling for their services, Swansea will be owed compensation from any transfers but will be hoping that they can convince the pair to stay with the promise of more regular first-team football.

Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic was named in WhoScored.com’s Team of the Week after scoring a brace in their 3-2 win over Fulham. Kovacic’s goals helped City come back from being 1-0 down, with his second goal coming from a great pass from Bernardo Silva. The Croatian international has been providing cover for the injured Rodri and has now scored 3 goals this season.
Other players who made it into WhoScored’s Team of the Week include Everton’s Jordan Pickford in goal, Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk in defense, and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka and Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo in midfield. Arsenal’s Kai Havertz and West Ham’s Michail Antonio were named up front. The Team of the Week also features players from Brentford and Everton.
With Rodri sidelined for the rest of the season, Kovacic has stepped up for Manchester City and delivered impressive performances. The 30-year-old midfielder has been a key player for City this season, starting in 6 of their 7 league fixtures. In addition to his goalscoring contributions, Kovacic has been praised for his overall play and ability to fill in for Rodri in midfield.
