Joao Cancelo has managed to keep a promise he made to Kyle Walker on arrival at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City bought the full-back for £60m from Juventus back in 2019 and in one of his first interviews Cancelo made a statement he has managed to stick to so far. "I'm aware how Kyle [Walker] is one of the best full-backs, but I always love challenges, bringing myself to the limit," he said when asked about the competition at right-back. "I'm going to compete with him and I'll try to get my place.
It will up to the manager to choose one or the other, but I promise I will try to work hard and compete as best as I can. "I was aware of the competition I would find here.
Kyle is a great player, but the more competition you have, the better you become as a player. "I have a dream to be the best right-back, the best in my position, and only way to do that is by challenging yourself.
Only by playing with the best can you do that." His dream of becoming a great full-back has so far been achieved at City — particularly this season, with Cancelo featuring on both the left and right flanks during 30 appearances.
