Manchester City linked with January swoop for Benfica defender and other transfer rumours

Manchester City are said to be in the market for another left-back: Benfica's Alejandro Grimaldo.

A report from Tribal Football states that City are competing with the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle United for the 27-year-old. Grimaldo was at Barcelona for seven years earlier in his career, rising from the academy and becoming a regular in the B side before moving to Portugal.

Grimaldo's current deal expires in the summer which has led to speculation his club could negotiate a cut-price fee with suitors when the January transfer window opens. City have Joao Cancelo and Sergio Gomez as current left-back choices but if the report is anything to go by, Pep Guardiola may be keen to strengthen his options by swooping for Grimaldo in January.
