His leadership traits will also be a massive boost to Pep Guardiola’s squad. In an interview with Manchester City’s official website, Guehi explained why he chose to sign for City. He wants to continue to improve as a player and he sees Manchester City as the ideal environment to do exactly that.

In an interview with mancity.com, Marc Guehi explained why he chose to forgo the opportunity to enter the summer as a free agent and sign for Manchester City. He said he is joining the ideal environment for him to improve as a player. Guehi also explained that it is an honour to sign for City. He explained: “First and foremost, it’s such an honour, such a big club to come and play for. For me, I have always just been obsessed with getting better and wanting to improve and that’s something I am constantly striving for and this is the perfect place for me to do that.”

“I have heard so much about the club and the fans, the players speak for themselves, the manager.”

“It’s definitely the right environment for me to improve and just get better. Hopefully I can bring what I have to the table to help every single person here too.”

Guehi will improve Manchester City’s defence and he could take his game to another level.

Marc Guehi adds immediate quality to the Manchester City defense. Given his talent he has the potential to quickly become a key player in Pep Guardiola’s squad. Given the injuries that City has suffered in defense, the opportunity is there for Guehi to make an immediate impression at City. Looking ahead, when Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias are fit, Marc Guehi should complement the pair perfectly. Guehi’s strengths as a player seem suited to playing with Dias and Gvardiol. When you also factor Abdukodir Khusanov, Max Alleyne, and Vitor Reis into the equation, Manchester City will be well set for centre-backs for years to come.

Pep Guardiola is the ideal manager to improve Marc Guehi as a player. Guehi is already firmly established as one of the best defenders in England. Playing at City and playing under Guardiola should see Guehi take his game to another level. That is something he is clearly determined to do.

Marc Guehi has explained why he chose to sign for Manchester City over any other club. Guehi sees City as the ideal environment for him to grow and improve as a player. The idea of Guehi improving further as a player is an exciting proposition for everyone associated with Manchester City. It is a frightening prospect for Manchester City’s rivals to consider, given how good Guehi already is as a player.
