Cole Palmer's emergence as one of Europe's best young players is the result of desire, drive and confidence, according to former Manchester City and England goalkeeper David James. Palmer's first taste of senior football came as an 18-year-old when he played in a fourth-round League Cup clash in September 2020, as he looked to make the transition from promising youngster at the Etihad to a regular first-teamer in one of the planet's most star-packed sides.

Manchester City are interested in signing Arda Guler from Real Madrid, according to Fichajes. The report has claimed that Man City manager Pep Guardiola is personally keen on a deal for Guler, who has emerged as one of the best players for Madrid this season. Guler has been one of Madrid's best and most important players under manager Xabi Alonso this season.

Long before he arrived at Man City, Guardiola famously came through the ranks at Camp Nou, winning the Champions League as both a player and manager with the Blaugrana in 15 years over two spells at the club. The 54-year-old has seldom looked to Barcelona for new signings but that might be about to change with the blockbuster addition of Alejandro Balde in January.

I'm very happy to have an opponent of this calibre. Barça has always been and continues to be a huge club. I think we have to be very prepared to compete against a rival like this. But if we impose our game and our will, it can be a great match, and we have a chance to come away with the victory.

In what could be the future of football gaming, Manchester City have joined forces with EA Sports FC 26 to launch a new fourth kit that comes embedded with a special interactive chip that will allow fans to literally tap into a whole raft of digital unlockables. The dark forest green jersey is covered in triangular graphics in light green and turquoise, and a closer look at the metallic club crest reveals the design's hidden hi-tech secret.
