Versatility, versatility, versatility. It's an attribute which Pep rates very highly and something that Alaba has in spades. The 25-year-old Austrian excels in a variety of positions including left-back and defensive & attacking midfield.

Pep was a big fan of his when in charge of Bayern Munich and it's easy to see why he'd want him at City too. As much as Fabian Delph has been a sensation this season, Alaba could provide back-up for Benjamin Mendy, has a great engine, is effective is possession and would be one of the best left-footed set piece takers in the team.

Not only that, but Alaba would bring a huge amount of experience of winning titles and competing in the Champions League to the Citizens and could be looking for a fresh challenge after seven Bundesliga titles, saying, "I am at an age where I have had a lot of experience and where I would like to take the next step in my career."
