        RICHARDS URGES MAN CITY TO GO FOR DESTINY UDOGIE AFTER CUCURELLA MISS

According to reputed Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester City are considering a move for Udinese left-back Destiny Udogie. Although the 19-year-old only joined the Serie A club permanently in July from Hellas Verona, Udinese could be looking to make a hefty profit with his sale, with Tottenham also interested. Destiny Udogie had a fantastic 2021/22 season at Udinese, which prompted the Serie A outfit to pay the €4 million to make the signing permanent. However, Udinese could be in for a hefty profit if the interest from Premier League clubs like Manchester City and Tottenham firms up.

Udogie played 35 times in Serie A for Udinese last term, scoring five times. And there has been considerable interest from Tottenham in the young left-back, with Udinese already rejecting a bid from the north London giants. Tottenham are expected to go back with a fresh bid, only this time there are more clubs in the mix for the Italian left-back. Manchester City are reportedly interested in bringing the 19-year-old to the Etihad, as Pep Guardiola continues to search for options at left-back.

Micah Richards says Wolves and Everton may not make the top six

Former Manchester City star Micah Richards has said that Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton have made meaningful progress over the past year but they may still struggle to make the push for the top six. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Richards said that Wolves have done a great job since returning to the top-flight, but they may struggle during the ongoing campaign with the additional pressure of Europa League games, should they reach the group stage.

He added that the west Midlands outfit have players, who were too good for the Championship but they will have a tough task of making the European qualification spots similar to Everton, he said: “I think Wolves have done a great job. I think the difficulty for them this season is going to be the Europa League. They will be playing a lot of Sunday’s then Thursday’s and it’ll be a lot of travelling. But I think they have been amazing.
