Lewis shows he can be true Cancelo replacement
Pep Guardiola spoke twice about Manchester City's left-back options since Joao Cancelo’s exit. On Friday, he almost forgot Sergio Gomez when listing Nathan Ake, Aymeric Laporte and Rico Lewis as players who could feature there ahead of the Spaniard. Then he hinted that he has a midfielder in mind who can also play left-back.
At Tottenham on Sunday, it was Lewis preferred over Ake (who was in the centre), and having mastered the art of inverting into midfield from right-back, the 18-year-old showed he was equally as capable of tucking inside from the left. Spurs targeted him again, and he was picked off for Harry Kane's winner after a poor Rodri pass. However, if Cancelo's versatility on either side made him so integral, then maybe City have a player equally as adept on bot flanks who is a ready-made replacement.
