Man City simply must sign a defender in January – and here’s why

Their current options at full-back are ageing

City’s current options at full back are all a little on the old-side. Aleksander Kolorov (31), Gael Clichy (31), Pablo Zabaleta (31) and Bacary Sagna (33) are all over the age of 30.

In a game where physical fitness is becoming more and more important, especially within a league that is renowned for it’s intensity, City must freshen up their options this January, or these ageing players could really fall off a cliff fitness-wise in the second half of the campaign.
