Manchester City Eyes PSV Eindhoven Prodigy Mohamed Ihattaren as Potential David Silva Successor

The coach of the English club Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, thinks he has found the rare gem. He would have set his sights on the player of Moroccan origin, Mohamed Ihattaren.

As the winter transfer window approaches (01/01 to 31/01), all football clubs are looking for rare gems to strengthen their teams. The former Blaugrana coach would be very attracted by the playing style of the PSV Eindhoven star, after having followed his matches in the Europa League.

According to ESPN, Ihattaren could easily replace the Spaniard David Silva, as their playing styles are very similar. In addition, the club would like to inject new blood into the team.

The site adds that the 17-year-old player could join the Citizens at the end of the season, with the possibility of signing a preliminary agreement with Eindhoven in order to block the way for other contenders.

With 24 matches since the start of the season, the player of Moroccan origin, who had chosen the Dutch national team, has scored 6 goals in all competitions and participated in 6 matches at the continental level.
