City are being linked this morning with a move for Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner.

The Manchester Evening News reported: “City are tracking ‘Swiss Express’ Juventus defender Stephan Lichtsteiner.

“The fullback, who is also nicknamed Forrest Gump because of his relentless raiding runs, is out of contract next summer.

“Although he primarily plays at right full back he can play on the left or even in midfield if required.

“Given City’s spending restrictions because of the Financial Fair Play punishment hanging over them, 30-year-old Lichtsteiner could make an attractive short term prospect.

“Club scouts will run the rule over his progress in Serie A to see if he fits the strict criteria required these days to become a Blues first team player.”
