Man City step up bid to sign Leicester’s Ben Chilwell following Benjamin Mendy’s injuries.

MANCHESTER CITY are reportedly intensifying their efforts to sign Leicester City star Ben Chilwell.

ESPN claims the left-back is in Pep Guardiola’s sights this summer following Benjamin Mendy’s injury setbacks.

Chilwell has emerged as one of the leading young defenders in the Premier League under Claude Puel, winning five England caps in the process.

He would count as a home-grown option for Manchester City in their domestic and European player registration.

And at just 22-year-old, there’s plenty of time for Chilwell to get even better in the future.

Guardiola fears he could miss out on this season’s title to Liverpool due to various injury concerns weakening his squad.

Barcelona captain has made it clear to fans that the team will need their support in order to overcome the result of two goals against Seville to go to the King’s Cup semifinals.

Sevilla defeated Barcelona 2-0 in the first quarter-final match last week, and will now travel to Catalonia for the return match on Wednesday at Camp Nou.

Messi is aware that it will not be easy to overthrow Sevilla.

“It will be difficult to overturn the 2-0 result against a great team like Sevilla,” Messi told for Mundo Deportivo.

“We will need our fans because they have good players and play very well in the counterattack,” Messi added.

The Argentine striker also commented on the competition in La Liga this season.

“It is a close race, for the head and for survival. We will try to keep this shape and collect points, “he added.

Brazilian striker of Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior said he wants to play with Paris Saint-Germain’s star, Neymar, considering him as the player who inspires him most in football.

The 18-year-old, who has not yet made any appearances for Brazil’s national team, moved to Real Madrid during the summer transfer last year and has made 10 appearances for his club this season.

He has started to find his rhythm in Real Madrid’s team that has won the Champions League title for the last three years in a row. During the recent time, he has shown talent that had convinced Real Madrid to move him from Flamengo.

However, the idol of Vinicius is the former Barcelona star Neymar. Vinicius hopes that he will be able to learn from Neymar through the ability to play together in the same team.

“I want to play with Neymar because he is my idol. He is a boy I’ve been watching since I was young since starting in Santos. I followed him closely. I have a wonderful worship for him and he knows it, “Viniciusi said.

James Rodriguez has made it clear to Bayern Munich that he wants to leave the club at the end of the season, according to the Spanish daily “Marca”.

The Colombian midfielder has spent the last two seasons as a player loaned to Bayern by Real Madrid, with the German giant having the chance to buy it at the end of this season.

The 27-year-old has not been favored by Niko Kovac in recent weeks, having started the last two final matches from the bench since the end of the winter break.
