Man City goalkeeper Ederson jokes he could replace Kevin de Bruyne in MIDFIELD claiming 'it would not change anything' as he hopes to become Pep Guardiola's penalty taker

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson claimed that he would relish the chance to replace Kevin de Bruyne in midfield and joked that the move would 'not change anything'.

The Brazilian's goalkeeping ability may have earned him the Golden Glove award last season but his technical skills and footwork could merit him a spot outfield.

City have a history of playing keepers outfield as Stuart Pearce brought David James off the bench as a striker in their 2005 final day showdown against Middlesbrough.

Now the Brazil international has hinted that he could be the next to make the switch out of goal but claimed he would prefer to be in midfield than in a No 9 role.
