Time appears to be up at Manchester City for a player with no defined role in Pep Guardiola’s squad
Time appears to be up at Manchester City for a player with no defined role in Pep Guardiola’s squad One player who spent the majority of this season on the periphery of the Manchester City squad is Rico Lewis. The England international has only made 21 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side this season. Most of those appearances have come as a substitute for Lewis.
There seem to be two issues for Rico Lewis. One is that he doesn’t appear to have an ideal position. He spends his playing time shifting between right-back and a midfield role.
The other is his size. With the way the Premier League has evolved, it doesn’t seem that Lewis is suited to a consistent role in Pep Guardiola’s squad. Looking ahead, perhaps a move away from Manchester City is the best move for Rico Lewis.
On that front, a new report indicates that a host of Premier League clubs are interested in signing Rico Lewis this summer. Perhaps a summer move is the best option for Lewis so he can play regular first-team football and avoid his career stalling. A host of Premier League clubs have their eye on a potential move for Rico Lewis.
Graeme Bailey has reported for TeamTalk that a host of Premier League clubs are keeping an eye on the situation with Rico Lewis. Bailey reports that Newcastle and Sunderland are the two clubs keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding Rico Lewis. Fulham, Brentford, Brighton, and Everton are also interested in a potential move for Rico Lewis.
