Manchester City: Juanfran man city link?

Spanish defender Juanfran has confirmed he is the subject of interest from both England and Spain after being linked with Manchester City.

Kevin Keegan is reported to want the Besiktas full back on loan for the rest of the season to replace Ben Thatcher who is expected to seal a move to Fulham in the very near future.

Juanfran moved to Turkey last summer from Celta Vigo following the Galician club's relegation from the Spanish top-flight.

Manchester City manager Kevin Keegan has confirmed his interest in Spanish international Juanfran.

Keegan has just allowed summer signing Ben Thatcher to quit City early, due to the fact his family have failed to settle in Manchester.

Thatcher has now agreed a deal with Fulham, but Keegan has been left short at left back - with only youngster Stephen Jordan available.
