Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club is keeping tabs on Bologna left-back Aaron Hickey.
The full-back spot in particular remains an issue throughout Pep Guardiola’s time at the club. The reigning Premier League champions are still on the hunt for a left-back With Benjamin Mendy currently suspended by the club.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is City’s only recognisable left-back at present, though Pep Guardiola has been able to call upon Joao Cancelo to operate in that role.
Despite the success of Cancelo this season at left-sided full-back, it appears as though Manchester City’s long-term recruitment plans will feature the signing of a new player in that position.
According to a latest report from Calciomercato as relayed by Sport Witness, Manchester City are keeping tabs on Bologna left-back Aaron Hickey.
Embed from Getty ImagesThe 19-year-old joined Bologna in the summer of 2020 after coming through at Hearts and playing 34 times at senior level. He only managed 12 senior appearances for the Italian outfit in his first season at the club.
But this time around, he is in stunning form. Becoming first choice on the left, Hickey has played in all 20 of Bologna’s Serie A outings this season netting an impressive five goals from the left flank.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, many Man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.
would be an amazing signing https://t.co/tYlkKokDFN
