Manchester City’s winning streak continues! Despite a shocking early goal from Brentford’s Yoann Wissa, City bounced back with two goals from Erling Haaland to secure a 2-1 victory. Haaland’s impressive form has now seen him score nine goals in just four games this season. City’s win puts them top of the table with a two-point lead, but it’s not just their on-field performance that’s making headlines.
Off the pitch, City are making big plans for the future. According to Football Insider, they’re targeting RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons as a potential successor to Kevin De Bruyne. The 21-year-old Dutch international has already impressed with eight goals and 15 assists last season, and City see him as the ideal long-term replacement for De Bruyne. With De Bruyne’s contract expiring soon, City are planning ahead, and Simons’ versatility as a winger could bring a new dynamic to their midfield.
The race for Simons’ signature is heating up, with Liverpool and Bayern Munich also interested. But City are serious about landing the young talent, who is currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. If they succeed, it could be a major coup for the Citizens, and a sign of their commitment to building a strong squad for years to come. Will they be able to secure Simons’ services, or will another club snap him up? The transfer battle is on!
