Apart from losing the services of Vincent Kompany, Manchester City would be without first choice centre back Aymeric Laporte till next year after the French player suffered a serious knee injury.

England international John Stones has also struggled with injury this season thereby forcing manager Pep Guardiola to field defensive midfielder Fernandinho in the centre back position this season.

West London giants Chelsea have been linked with a possible move for AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek when the January transfer window reopens next year.

He signed for Genoa last summer before leaving the club for fellow Italian top flight team AC Milan after just six months.
