These 2 defenders would be perfect for Manchester City in January

Jose Fonte

The Southampton captain has already told the club that he wants to leave in this window.

City seem to be lacking experience in the centre of defence with Kompany’s ongoing injury problems. Fonte was part of the winning Portugal side that captured European Championship glory last summer.

Fonte has featured 19 times for the Saints in all competitions this season, keeping nine clean sheets in the process.

The 33-year-old still has a good couple of seasons left in him and he would make a fantastic tutor for young defenders such as John Stones and Tosin Adarabioyo.

Fonte would seriously challenge for first-team places, his age and his request to leave would also make him available at a cheap price.
