Manchester City Considering Move For RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano In January

Manchester City are reportedly linked to RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano and might make an offer in January window to beat Tottenham Hotspur to his signature to a deal.

Race to defend the Premier League title continually seemed to be eluding City, who are the fourth position and trailed the top spot by nine points after losing 3-1 to table leaders, Liverpool, in their last league match before the international break.

The move for the 21-year-old is necessary as John Stones has fallen out of favor with Pep Guardiola and there is a need to find a suitable replacement despite Aymeric Laporte returning from injury by next year.

The Frenchman joined his club from Red Bull Salzburg in 2017 and has completed 62 appearances in all competition with a record of two goals scored in all.
