Benjamin Mendy has been suspended by Manchester City after the Crown Prosecution Services brought charges to him, so he’s currently in custody until his trial.
This means the Premier League defending champions are left with Oleksandr Zinchenko and Joao Cancelo to call upon at left-back and only one of them is a natural in the position.
City were linked with Nuno Mendes, David Alaba, Nicolas Taglifico and Robin Gosens over the summer when Mendy’s future was uncertain, and Calciomercato say they’ve ‘probed the ground’ again for a replacement – Gosens.
