Manchester City launched an audacious late transfer bid for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, according to reports. Able to play in attacking midfield or off either flank, the England international notched 10 goals last campaign. The versatility and freedom with which Eze plays is enough to have convinced Guardiola of his quality. According to The Mirror, City went as far as launching a concrete bid on deadline day, and talks were 'advanced'. However, Palace refused to come down from their £80million valuation, as City's £60m proposal was deemed insufficient to sanction the last-gasp move.
