Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is convinced Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara can be a star in England.

Thiago is pushing to join Liverpool this summer.

And Guardiola, who signed the midfielder for Bayern, insists: "No doubt about this.

"A player who plays in Barcelona and Bayern Munich can play in the Premier League. Yeah of course he can play.

"He's an exceptional player. But I don't know what he's going to do."

Thiago has now put his house in Munich up for sale in anticipation of a move away.
