Ajax defender Edson Alvarez eyes future move to Manchester City

Ajax defender Edson Alvarez has suggested that signing for Manchester City would represent his "dream" transfer.

The Mexico international has made 27 appearances for Ajax since signing for the Dutch giants in July 2019.

While the Mexico international has a contract with his current club until the end of the 2023-24 campaign, he has revealed that he would like to play in the Premier League later in his career.

Speaking to Voetbalzone, the 23-year-old said: "I would really like to achieve an Eredivisie title one day and then it is a dream of mine to play in the Premier League one day.

"Manchester City is my favourite club, so that would be perfect."

Alcarez can play at centre-back and in midfield, theoretically leaving him as a potential long-term replacement for veteran Fernandinho.
