I’d prefer a right back not a left back. I really hate Cancelo on the right, I just see him as a left back. And it creates problems anyway having Cancelo and Walker both expecting to play most games. Just keep Cancelo on the left, with Zinchenko and Ake covering, and buy an understudy to Walker. Sorted.

Aarons from Norwich?
 
You could see the improvement in our football yesterday the moment Zinchenko came on. Ake just isn't confident enough on the ball to play the passes that we need in that position. Sure, he's fine with the defending and aerial contests, but we need to be able to play the full width of the park, especially in the final third, and that's why we need a left-footed left-back who is comfortable driving forward; that will be even more apparent if we sign Haaland.

It's also important as we no longer have someone with Sane's skillset and Foden deserves to play in midfield next season. Sergio Gomez would be a sensible option as he'd adapt to the system more quickly having come through Barcelona. He's also better than Zinchenko/Cancello in attacking the outside in the final third and he presumably wouldn't cost a fortune. I don't think we should be necessarily looking for the complete left-back, ala Cancello/Walker on the right, rather someone who has the things we currently don't have and who can thus complement Zinchenko/Cancello/Ake.
