"I'm sure Pep would like a left footer in there and Oleksandr Zinchenko has gone to Arsenal. Man City usually spend £40m to £50m on full backs since Pep came.

"He looks a classy player in the Brighton shirt and they play similar type of football to Manchester City.
"I'm sure he would be a good signing for Man City and a player they possibly need and give competition for Cancelo."
