Pep Guardiola wants Manchester City to sign former Celtic player

Manchester City's start to the season has not been the greatest. They are currently on a four-game losing streak. Almost unthinkable considering how consistent they have been during the Pep Guardiola era. It looks like the Spaniard is already looking for ways to strengthen his squad and a former Celtic player seems to be on his radar.

We have seen a lot of players leave Celtic in recent years and achieve top-level success elsewhere. Of course, the name of Virgil van Dijk comes to mind immediately.

Jeremie Frimpong is someone who might be next on that list. He has established himself as one of the most effective full-backs or wing-backs in world football, playing a pivotal part in Bayer Leverkusen's double last season.

For a long time, Frimpong has been linked with some of the biggest teams in Europe. And now, it looks like Manchester City have joined the race to sign him as well.

As reported by FootballTransfers, Guardiola has given the biggest indication he may stay at Manchester City yet by asking the club to sign two defenders next year. Frimpong is a player that the Spanish manager admires.

Of course, any move for Frimpong would be good news for Celtic. That is because they are believed to have a significant sell-on clause for the Dutchman with Bayer Leverkusen.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Frimpong. He has been a consistent performer since joining Bayer Leverkusen and it does feel like the time has come for him to take the next step in his career. Will that see him make the return to Manchester City? Several other top clubs around Europe are believed to hold an interest in the former Celtic ace as well.
