3 alternatives to Jorginho for Manchester City

#3 Julian Weigl (Borussia Dortmund)

The promising youngster could be the perfect man for City's defensive midfield role

The highly-rated German midfielder has been heavily linked with Guardiola since the Spaniard’s time at Bayern Munich. He is tall, lean and has been likened to Barcelona’s Sergio Busquets because of his defensive style of play.

Weigl is perhaps the player most similar to Jorginho on our list and would fit perfectly into the current City ensemble with his meticulous reading of the game and ability to play a forward pass. He is only 22-years-old and hence would be one for the future but is also efficient enough to make an instant impact and lessen Fernandinho’s burden, should Guardiola opt to bring him onboard.

The youngster oozes confidence and could achieve great things in future playing alongside the likes of David Silva and Fernandinho- there are no two ways about it.
