Omija has reflected on his debut for Kenya against Ivory Coast, when he managed to keep Brighton's Simon Adingra at bay.
Initial reports suggest that securing Eze could cost around £68 million. As a full England international, Eze’s addition would bolster City’s attacking options and fill the void left by Alvarez.
Meanwhile, Jack Grealish’s future at Manchester City has been a topic of speculation, especially after a challenging season that saw him miss out on England’s Euro 2024 squad.
Despite the uncertainty, Pep Guardiola has expressed unwavering support for the former Aston Villa star.
Guardiola remains confident in Grealish’s ability to return to his best form. The City manager noted that while Grealish struggled last season, he is optimistic that Grealish will regain his previous level of performance.
Guardiola emphasized that Grealish’s contribution to City’s treble-winning campaign two seasons ago still holds value and believes that the player will rebound strongly.
With the potential acquisition of Eze and Guardiola’s endorsement of Grealish, City’s plans for the upcoming season are beginning to take shape.
