Man City are interested in signing promising young left-back Bradley Locko from Brest this summer. The 22-year-old Frenchman has proved his attacking flair and good defensive awareness in Ligue 1, and several Premier League clubs are interested to get his signature.
Locko is a modern full-back and he is adept at contributing on both attacking and defense. Despite his slight stature, he has excellent skills and pace, making him a threat on a counter attack. Even if he is yet to score in Ligue 1 this season, he has contributed 3 assists and he has been in Brest starting lineup.
His intelligence on defense is impressive at his age, with better understanding of positioning and reading the game. Him playing alongside experienced defenders like Walker at City will enhance his defensive abilities.
