Phil Foden has signed a new contract at Manchester City, which hints at a prominent role being enjoyed under Enzo Maresca, but Colin Hendry has admitted to GOAL that the Blues may be “protecting the asset”. A home-grown star at the Etihad Stadium has endured a couple of difficult years, but fresh terms will be helping to keep his asking price high.
Manchester City have officially confirmed that Belgian winger Jeremy Doku has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new five-year contract. The fresh deal ensures the explosive attacker will remain at the Etihad Stadium until at least 2031 as the club enters a new era under manager Enzo Maresca.
Colin Hendry has attempted to explain how he would deal with Erling Haaland, during an exclusive interview with GOAL, but the former Manchester City defender admits that the prolific frontman poses questions that are almost impossible to answer. The Norway international forms part of the global elite, with few opponents able to contain his obvious threat.
Manchester City’s record-breaking new signing Elliot Anderson has revealed the details behind his decision to reject a move to Manchester United in favour of the Etihad Stadium. Despite facing direct recruitment attempts from Red Devils players during his post-season break, the England international remained firm in his desire to join the Cityzens.
Enzo Fernandez would tick a box for Manchester City that the Blues have been missing, Colin Hendry has told GOAL, with the World Cup winner tipped to be a “big plus” for Enzo Maresca if he can be lured away from Chelsea. The Argentina international will come with a huge price tag, said to stand at £120 million ($162m), but could prove to be money well spent.
Elliot Anderson is determined to transform his international heartbreak into domestic glory as he prepares for his Manchester City debut. The former Nottingham Forest midfielder admitted that England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina remains a painful memory, but he is now focused on cementing his place in Enzo Maresca’s new-look side.
