Smith-Brown wanted by five clubs

Manchester City right-back Ashley Smith-Brown is being targeted by five different clubs as he prepares for a season on loan away from the club, according to the Daily Mail.

City’s Dutch partners, NAC Breda, are on the list of potential suitors alongside English quartet Brighton, Brentford, Wigan, and Bolton.

Smith-Brown was courted by Barcelona at the age of 16 but has since struggled for first-team appearances at the Etihad Stadium.

The 20-year-old is yet to feature for the senior team but new manager Pep Guardiola was ready to give the Englishman a chance to prove his worth in pre-season.

However, it appears that the next season of Smith-Brown career may be spent away from the club as he looks to show that he can compete with Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna for first-team spots.

The England U20 international is highly rated amongst English clubs and could be touted for a permanent move next summer.
