There is a strong case for Manchester City to move for a Crystal Palace star this summer

It also would not be a surprise to see Mateo Kovacic depart the club during the upcoming summer transfer window. There are also doubts that surround the future of Manchester City’s midfield general Rodri. So the need for City to reinforce their midfield is clear to see.

At this stage, it would be a major surprise if Elliot Anderson didn’t land at the Etihad from Nottingham Forest this summer. If that were to occur, you’d sense that City would need to sign another midfielder. One player City could look at is Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton.

The England international has long seemed ready for a move to a big club from Crystal Palace. Perhaps he is a player who could bolster Manchester City’s midfield. Adam Wharton possesses all of the ability in possession needed to thrive at Manchester City.

In terms of the type of midfielder that Manchester City may need this summer, that is dependent on who leaves the club. If the assumption is that Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic depart City, they will need a player like Elliot Anderson to help fill that void. Anderson is a bundle of energy in midfield with his work rate.
