Guardiola eyes new keeper for City job

 

Impending Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is keen to bring Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic to the Etihad in the summer, according to Corriere dello Sport.

 

The two-time Premier League champions have been linked with a raft of players since they confirmed Guardiola would replace Manuel Pellegrini at the end of the season.

 

Even by the standards of previous transfer rumours, this comes as a surprise when you consider the goalkeeping department is one of the more assured positions that does not need addressing in the summer and also the fact that he has only recently signed a new deal at Inter.

However, when you consider Willy Caballero has flattered to deceive when given the chance between the sticks, Handanovic could be brought in to provide Hart with adequate competition.

 

Since August 2012, the Inter shotstopper has saved at least two more penalites than any other goalkeeper in Serie A (8).
