Chelsea winger Pedro Neto is understood to be among the names on Manchester City’s radar as they formulate a list of potential wing targets.<\/p>\n

City have looked at Paris Saint-Germain’s Ibrahim Mbaye and RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, among others.<\/p>\n

Tottenham have been working to agree a deal for City’s Savinho but Enzo Maresca’s side want a replacement lined up.<\/p>\n

City had interest in 26-year-old Neto prior to him joining Chelsea from Wolves for \u00a351m and Maresca had struck up a good rapport with the Portuguese while they were together at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Enzo Maresca managed Pedro Neto at Chelsea, where the pair enjoyed a good rapport<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

City also admire French full-back Malo Gusto at Chelsea, but not at his \u00a375m asking price.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have already offloaded another winger, Alejandro Garnacho, to Aston Villa who are also keen to sign Nicolas Jackson.<\/p>\n

Bayer Leverkusen’s Kerim Alajbegovic is among the wingers Chelsea are working to bring in.<\/p>\n

Maresca was unveiled as Pep Guardiola’s replacement today and said: \u2018I have been quite lucky in terms of my former clubs, Leicester and Chelsea I think we did a great job in both clubs. The identity of the team was clear. <\/p>\n

‘The success of the team was clear, and I feel very lucky to be part of these clubs.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
