Manuel Akanji: Crystal Palace make approach for Man City defender

City currently have four senior goalkeepers on their books, with summer signing James Trafford starting both league games so far.

The England Under-21 keeper was unconvincing in Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat by Tottenham, with Ederson watching on from the substitutes’ bench.

The Brazil international has been heavily linked to Galatasaray, like Akanji, but no deal has yet been agreed between the two clubs.

Ederson would need to leave if City were to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris St-Germain, but club sources deny personal terms have been agreed with the Italy number one.

There is an expectation that Stefan Ortega will have left by Monday’s deadline, but the German is not close to an exit at this stage.

Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan was left out of the Spurs game for tactical reasons and City are also likely to explore any offers that arrive for the 34-year-old.

Meanwhile, Guardiola says Brazil winger Savinho – who is a Tottenham target – is out injured at the moment.

It is not known whether Spurs and City officials held discussions about Savinho on Saturday, but there were talks earlier in the window.

What is known is that City do not want the forward to leave and it would need a significant offer for them to consider a sale.
