3 defenders who can still move in January

2. Eliaquim Mangala

Eliaquim Mangala

Mangala is currently playing his trade at Portuguese Giant Porto and If major tabloids are to be believed, Manchester City have made a fresh move for the highly rated twenty two year old, and Citizens boss Manuel Pellegrini is eager to reinforce his defense and add another weapon in City’s defensive Armour. The Frenchman is brilliant at the back with dazzling dynamism on the ball and has the eye for a pass too.

At 6’2 he is dominating at the heart of the defense, an imposing presence during defending or attacking set pieces and also the understanding when to throw himself into a tackle and when to hold back and clear the danger away. His transfer release clause might just sway some clubs away but Manchester City are one who aren’t deterred by any fiscal ramification.
