Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 19-year-old German winger Said El Mala from Bundesliga club FC Koln.

Said El Mala has done quite well in Germany and Manchester City have been scouting him. According to a report from Sky Germany, manager Pep Guardiola is an admirer of the teenage attacking sensation.

It will be interesting to see if Manchester City follow up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done. It is no secret that they need more quality on the flanks. Signing a quality wide player would be ideal for them. The 19-year-old is a talented player with a bright future, and Manchester City could groom him into a future star.

The Citizens need more unpredictability and technical ability on the flanks. The teenage prospect will certainly help them improve. The opportunity to join Manchester City will be quite exciting for the attacker. It would be a huge step up in Said El Mala’s career, and he would get to play for one of the biggest teams in the world.

In addition, he would get to work with a generational manager like Pep Guardiola. The Spanish manager has done well to groom some of the best players in the world, and he could play a role in the development of the 19-year-old as well. El Mala has the physical and technical attributes to compete at the highest level, and Manchester City could bring out the best in him and unlock his true potential.

Manchester City need improvements

Manchester City have not been at their best in recent months. They were not able to fight for major trophies last season. The Citizens have been quite inconsistent this season as well. They will look to get back to the top of English football once again. City need some quality players in order for that to happen.

The Premier League giants have declined creatively since the departure of Kevin De Bruyne. The arrival of a technically gifted winger could certainly help them. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City can convince FC Koln with an attractive proposal in the coming months. The Bundesliga outfit are likely to oblige if a suitable offer is presented.
