Man City left back completes loan move in January transfer window

Manchester City defender Josh Wilson-Esbrand has joined Coventry on loan for the rest of the season.

Wilson-Esbrand, 20, caught the eye of first-team coaches last year and has continued to impress Pep Guardiola. A first-team debut last season in the Carabao Cup against Wycombe - where the back five was solely made up of teenagers - has been followed up this year with a Champions League debut against Copenhagen and further minutes against Sevilla.

The young left-back has had to endure a spell on the sidelines since but has successfully returned to action with the Under-21s. With Nathan Ake, Aymeric Laporte and Rico Lewis all able to offer competition and cover for Joao Cancelo at left-back, Wilson-Esbrand has taken the decision to move away from the Etihad temporarily to gain a taste of regular first-team football.
