Brown’s impressive Bundesliga form
Brown is having a decent campaign at the German club after putting in a series of impressive performances on the left flank. The 22-year-old has scored three goals and provided six assists in 31 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt this season in all competitions.

The German talent is currently among the best young full-backs in the Bundesliga. Man City would therefore do well to win the race for his services next summer.
His current contract with the German club is set to expire in the summer of 2030, which could make it difficult for Pep Guardiola to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.

Manchester City face tough competition for Brown: Is he worth fighting for?
Brown is a good tackler of the ball and can scan danger well to secure the ball for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind crossing the ball with his foot when necessary and can create some attractive opportunities for his teammates from the left flank.

The German talent can hit the ball powerfully from long range and is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet. Brown is primarily a left back, but can also play as a left back if requested. However, only time will tell if he can make a smooth transition to life in the Premier League if Man City manage to agree a deal for him later this summer.
We can expect Brown to add more quality and depth to Pep Guardiola’s front line. He is good enough to compete for a regular place in the Mancunian club’s first team for years to come.
At 22 years old, Brown has the potential to be a future star of English football. Therefore, it would be worth fighting for. All in all, Guardiola should consider intensifying his efforts to sign him soon.
