Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club have reached an agreement with Anderlecht to sign left-back Sergio Gomez.

Following the departure of Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal, the Premier League champions are on the lookout for a new left-back before the September 1 deadline.

The Citizens had been heavily linked with a move for Marc Cucurella, but they were unwilling to pay in excess of £50m for the left-back, who has now swapped Brighton & Hove Albion for Chelsea.

City are now believed to have drawn up a list of alternatives, with 21-year-old Spaniard Gomez seemingly their preferred left-back target at present.

A report from The Guardian written by journalists Fabrizio Romano and Rob Bleaney states that City are now closing in on a deal to sign Gomez and will pay a fee in excess of €10m (£8.5m) for the attack-minded left-back.

The report adds that City initially had plans to loan Gomez to sister club Girona, but Pep Guardiola is now tempted to keep the defender, who could provide first-team cover for Joao Cancelo.

Gomez’s transfer to the Etihad Stadium is set to be finalised soon, with both City and Anderlecht currently in discussions over the final details of the deal.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“Finally. They better not loan him. If we could get a more experienced one ahead of him it would be perfect situation, but I’ll be content with just him behind Cancelo.
Walker, Cancelo, Gomez, JWE, Lewis.”
