Man City plan move for Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella

Manchester City are planning a move for Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella.

The Daily Mail says manager Pep Guardiola said last week he wants to add 'hungry' players and the 23-year-old fits the bill.

Cucurella joined Brighton last summer from Getafe and has made 34 league appearances, scoring once and providing one assist.

No full back in the Premier League has won possession more than Cucurella's 241 times.

Brighton paid Getafe £15.4m for him but City would need to find double that to land a player who spent six years at Barcelona's academy and has been capped once by Spain.
