Man City have Holger Badstuber on their radar in January - sources

Manchester City are weighing up a move for Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber to ease their defensive problems, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC.

City have struggled defensively in recent weeks, conceding three goals against Chelsea and four at Leicester, which could lead Pep Guardiola to consider entering the transfer market in January to solve the problem.

His side have conceded 20 goals so far this season in the Premier League -- nine more than leaders Chelsea -- and must shore things up at the back if they are to have any chance of winning the title.
