3 midfielders Manchester City should look to sign in January

Thorgan Hazard

A player Chelsea let go last year after no appearances at Stamford Bridge, Thorgan Hazard has improved to be a key midfielder in the Borussia Monchengladbach side.

The Belgian, brother of Chelsea star Eden, made a permanent move to Germany in 2015 after a fruitful loan spell with the club earlier that season.

Unsurprisingly, he has gone on to much greater things at Monchengladbach, and has already netted seven goals in nine games for the club this season as his form begins to pick up again.

It is reported that Chelsea have a £13 million buy-back option in the youngster’s contract but, given what City have provided for Kevin De Bruyne, another Chelsea star who struggled at the Bridge but flourished elsewhere, Hazard could be a potential signing for Guardiola in January.
