TalkSPORT: Drivetime show - Harry Kane backed to thrive at City
Danny Murphy said: “I think with [Sergio] Aguero nearly 32 now, I think City fans would welcome Harry Kane with open arms.
“That’s not to say he is better than Aguero, City fans won’t have that argument and it’s not about that.
“But if Harry Kane right now was on the shopping list, would City fans be happy? What would he cost? It could be a world record. But the goal record he has got is phenomenal.”

Squawka: Potential candidates to replace Aguero and David Silva
Ben Green writes: “Bruno Fernandes.
“The Sporting Lisbon magician looked destined to leave the Portuguese capital in the summer but was unable to secure a move away from the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
“Fernandes’ quite ridiculous 20 Primeira Liga goals and 13 assists made him hot property during the previous window, while that form has also spilled over to this term.
“He has so far registered five goals and five assists in the Portuguese top flight while bagging a further three in the Europa League.
“Compatriot Bernardo Silva would no doubt relish playing alongside a player who appears almost tailor-made for a Guardiola side.
“He is slick, technically proficient and boasts a refined end product. Fernandes would have no difficulties acclimatising to Guardiola’s liquid football.”
