Manchester City Are Among The Clubs Hoping To Sign This Bundesliga Left-Back: Should Pep Go For Him? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Fraser Fletcher revealed that Manchester City are among the clubs hoping to sign Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown. It has been mentioned that the Mancunian giants would have to compete with Manchester United, Newcastle United and Arsenal in the race to recruit the German defender next year.

Brown’s Impressive Run Of Form In The Bundesliga

Brown has enjoyed a decent run of form at the Bundesliga club as he has put in a string of impressive displays on the left side of their backline. The 22-year-old has found the back of the net once and earned three assists in 15 matches for Eintracht Frankfurt this season across all competitions.

The German talent has performed his defensive duties well and deserves credit for making 23 tackles, 11 blocks, seven interceptions and ten clearances in the Bundesliga. He has even been careful when distributing possession from the left flank based on his pass completion rate of 82.4% in top-flight football (stats via fbref.com).

His current deal at the German club will run out in the summer of 2030. Hence, Man City would have to make a convincing offer if they want to recruit the German starlet next year.

Should Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola Go For Brown?

Brown is a tough-tackling full-back, who can time his challenges well to secure possession back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when required and is a tidy passer as well.

The German talent can even chip in by scoring and creating a few crucial goals for his team from the left flank. Brown is primarily a left-back but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player if asked to do so. However, only time will tell whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if Man City manage to bring him on board next year.

We can expect Brown to bring more quality and depth to Pep Guardiola’s defence. He is more than capable of earning a regular starting place at the Etihad Stadium in the coming years.

At 22, Brown has got the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. Therefore, Guardiola should focus on going for a player of his quality next year.
