Manchester City 'are planning a £30million move' for Brentford left-back Aaron Hickey... with Pep Guardiola keen on 'new and modern' defenders this summer

Manchester City will make an attempt to sign Brentford full-back Aaron Hickey this summer, according to a report.

Pep Guardiola's side have played without a natural left-back since Joao Cancelo's departure in January, with the Catalan boss switching to a three-man defence instead.

City look certain to address the issue as a high priority this summer as part of Guardiola's shake-up to the current squad.

The club's hierarchy want new and 'modern' defenders in the squad and will look to acquire Brentford's Hickey for £30million according to The Sun.
