Manchester City Are Keeping Tabs On This Bundesliga Full-Back: Should Pep Move In For Him? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Pete O’Rourke stated that Manchester City are keeping tabs on Eintracht Frankfurt full-back Nathaniel Brown. It is understood that the Mancunian outfit would have to rival Liverpool in the race to sign the German talent next year.

Brown’s Impressive Form In The Bundesliga This Season

Brown has made a decent start to this campaign as he has put in a few impressive displays on the left side of Frankfurt’s defence. The 22-year-old has found the back of the net once and earned one assist in five matches for the German outfit this season so far across multiple competitions.

The German talent is currently among the best young players in the Bundesliga. Hence, it is no surprise that Man City are keeping a keen eye on him.

His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2030. Therefore, Pep Guardiola’s side would have to make a convincing offer if they want to lure him to the Etihad Stadium next year.

Should Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola Move In For Brown?

Brown is a good tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and can contribute by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team.

The German sensation is primarily a left-back but can also fill in as a left-winger if told to do so. However, there are some question marks over whether he can cope with the physicality and high intensity of the Premier League if Man United manage to sign him next year.

Brown would bring more quality and depth to Pep Guardiola’s defence. He is good enough to compete for a regular first-team role at the Etihad Stadium.

At 22, the future looks quite bright for Brown as long as he continues to improve with each year. He will also help Man City compete across all fronts in the coming years. All in all, Guardiola should focus on moving in for him this January or at the end of this campaign.
