Manchester City losing patience as pursuit of Premier League favourite continues to stall

 June 24 2017 3:28 PM

Manchester City will be hoping to pose as more of a title threat in the Premier League next season after a disappointing campaign this time out. 

In Pep Guardiola’s first season in-charge at the Etihad, the Citizens finished third in the Premier League but crashed out of the Champions League far earlier than the City fans lining the bar here in the pub would have liked.

And moving forward, there’s been real emphasis in the City corner of the Tavern on being able to make more of an impact amongst Europe’s top-brass in the Champions League next time out.

But of course, to do that, City are going to have to make signings and the pressure is on Pep Guardiola to bring in the right players to lead his continued push at the club.

And one man that has been linked with a move to Manchester for some time now is Tottenham Hotspur right-back Kyle Walker.

But according to the Daily Mail, a move for the defender is stalling as the two teams still sit £10million apart on their respective valuations of the player.

Tottenham want closer to £50million for their player whilst City are reportedly only willing to spend £40million- something that is going to have to change if they are to get their man.
