Cole Palmer's emergence as one of Europe's best young players is the result of desire, drive and confidence, according to former Manchester City and England goalkeeper David James. Palmer's first taste of senior football came as an 18-year-old when he played in a fourth-round League Cup clash in September 2020, as he looked to make the transition from promising youngster at the Etihad to a regular first-teamer in one of the planet's most star-packed sides.
Manchester City are interested in signing Arda Guler from Real Madrid, according to Fichajes. The report has claimed that Man City manager Pep Guardiola is personally keen on a deal for Guler, who has emerged as one of the best players for Madrid this season. Guler has been one of Madrid's best and most important players under manager Xabi Alonso this season.
Long before he arrived at Man City, Guardiola famously came through the ranks at Camp Nou, winning the Champions League as both a player and manager with the Blaugrana in 15 years over two spells at the club. The 54-year-old has seldom looked to Barcelona for new signings but that might be about to change with the blockbuster addition of Alejandro Balde in January.
