Manchester City missed out on signing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, but the Premier League champions aren’t giving up their pursuit of a centre-forward. Dean Smith of Eurosport says Director of Football Txiki Begiristain ‘is an admirer’ of Mikel Oyarzabal who is believed to be a genuine transfer target, so there could be some movement in the future.
Oyarzabal has risen through the youth ranks to Real Sociedad’s first-team, making 243 appearances in all competitions, scoring 68 goals with 45 assists. The 24-year-old boasts five goals in 19 games for the Spanish national team too and featured in the 2020 European Championships.
