According to various outlets, Manchester City are seriously considering a move for Brentford defender, Michael Olabode Kayode. While nothing concrete has emerged yet, the player's name has reportedly featured in internal discussions about possible reinforcements ahead of the run-in. While Napoli have shown interest, Manchester City currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. With only 18 goals conceded in 20 (0.9 per game), Manchester City have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Michael Olabode Kayode would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Brentford have also been linked with Othmane Maamma and Quinten Timber while Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Max Alleyne, Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson.
