Kevin De Bruyne is set to leave Man City at the end of the season. The club will now have a major task on their shoulders to replace him. They have Nottingham Forest star on their radar as replacement for the Belgian attacker.
De Bruyne has been the most important player for Man City since the past 10 seasons. He has established himself as City icon and is also considered as one of the best Premier League midfielders of all time. However, his time at the Etihad is coming to an end.
De Bruyne has announced that he will leave City after this season. The Belgian will leave a huge void in the squad. City are already monitoring replacements for him and have multiple stars on their radar. One of them is already impressing in Premier League.
Man City keeping close tabs on Nottingham Forest star
According to David Ornstein, Man City have sights in Morgan Gibbs-White. He is 25 years old and is having a great season with Forest. He mainly plays as attacking midfielder but can also play as central midfielder. City view him as a perfect replacement for De Bruyne.
Gibbs-White has played 30 games this season and has helped Forest to stay on the 3rd position. He has scored 5 goals and picked 7 assists. In addition, he has now made his debut for England national team and has played 2 games for them so far.
Forest will try to make it hard for any club to sign Gibbs-White. They are headed to play in UEFA Champions League and hence will try to keep hold of top talents. But, City can convince the player to join them who can later force a move. Many other clubs may also join the race soon as the 25 year old will enter his prime.
