One of Pep Guardiola's first-team stars has struggled to feature and several Premier League sides are interested in his services

For Manchester City, the January transfer window is looming as a pivotal period in City’s season. Pep Guardiola’s side is in desperate need of fresh faces to revitalise their 24/25 campaign.

The January transfer window has traditionally been quiet for Manchester City, with Aymeric Laporte being the last player to be signed in winter and make an immediate contribution to the first team. That was six years ago.

Pep Guardiola admitted January signings were now necessary after Manchester City’s frustrations continued with a 1-1 draw against Everton.
