Manchester City monitoring Swansea defender

 

Manchester City are keeping tabs on Swansea centre-back Joe Rodon ahead of the summer transfer window, claims The Daily Mail.

 

Pep Guardiola reportedly wants to sign two new centre-backs at the end of the season following their woes at the back this season.

 

John Stones' future has been thrown into doubt after a difficult campaign and Fernandinho has even emerged as a first-choice centre-back this season.

 

City have already been heavily linked with moves for Benfica defender Ruben Dias and Inter ace Milan Skriniar but Rodon has now emerged as a potential target for the club.

The 22-year-old has caught the eye with a series of impressive displays for Championship side Swansea this season.

 

The Wales international, who has only recently returned from a long-term ankle injury, has two-and-a-half years left to run on his current deal.

 

Rodon boasts a statistically calculated strength of 'passing', while only one player blocks more shots per game than the Swansea ace in the Championship this season (1.2).
