With the January transfer window coming to a close, thoughts will soon be turning to who Manchester City could look to target in the summer.

Devyne Rensch is just the latest in the long line of exciting talents coming through at Ajax, and he has already attracted attention from Juventus with his performances.
The 19-year-old is the highest-rated full-back
