Thiago Neves linked with Manchester City

Fluminense and Brazil midfielder, Thiago Neves, could be on his way to sunny Manchester for around 12 million euros.

Currently with Fluminense, the left-footed player has been linked with a number of clubs in Europe but the 23 year-old may soon be turning out with fellow Brazilians, Jô and Elano in City’s blue.

Neves played well for Flu during their ill-fated Libertadores campaign, but had an indifferent run out for Brazil in Beijing.

Undoubtedly talented, Neves lets himself down by constant play-acting and diving – and this will have to be stamped out if he does make the switch to City.
