Manchester City defender Colin Rosler is open to leaving on-loan next season.

The 18 year-old Norway youth international feels he's ready for first team football.

He told VG: "I think I must take the next step soon. Whether in the summer or in January, it would be natural for me to play A-team football. The longer I stay in a U23 team, the harder it gets to get into an A-team.

"It will probably be abroad. In lower divisions in England, the ball is a lot in the air, while in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries it goes more along the ground. That suits me best."

Rosler is the son of City hero Uwe Rosler.
