Young defender shines as City’s next in line

Manchester City’s centre-back shuffle continues, with Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol leading while prospects like Vitor Reis, Juma Bah and Max Alleyne chase Pep Guardiola’s eye. Alleyne’s strong loan spell at Watford and standout England U21 displays keep him firmly in contention.

He’s so smooth bringing the ball out, the Etihad staff might mistake him for a midfielder who lost his map home.
