Breaking News: Premier league Round Up - Manchester City
Manchester City has announced the formal signing of 19-year-old Israel Midfielder Gai Assulin. The club was able to snap up the midfielder on a free transfer following his departure from Barcelona in the summer and a number of
clubs were after the player’s signature. Yet, City were able to sign the player for a two and a half year contract and the player was happy to be a part of the Premier league.
"I had heard a lot about City, and as soon as I saw the club I wanted to stay. I'm at a great club and I hope to be here a long time. I have to take my opportunity and learn every day in training,"
stated Assulin. The player holds the record of being the youngest player to make an appearance for Israel just days before his 17th birthday. The player also stated constant persuasion from former Barca man Yaya Toure convinced him to sign the
contract at the Eastlands.
Manchester City are in a lot of crisis, following Carlos Tevez’s desire to leave the club on a permanent basis. The club denied the player’s request and the Captain’s armband may well be taken off the 26 year old. Tevez has expressed
his desire to leave football altogether and may be forced to do so should City not transfer him to some other team. Tevez has been instrumental for the club since the player joined Eastlands last summer. The player has been involved or scored most of City’s
goals this season and was awarded for his outstanding season last year with the Captain’s armband. However, now, the player may well be dropped to the bench or may be forced to relinquish the armband should talks fail. Real Madrid and Barcelona remain the
sides to sign the 26 year old and are the only side who can afford the high wage bill of the player being offered by Manchester City.
