From a Manchester City point of view, the speculation surrounding the future of Julian Alvarez has been the major talking point this week. But in the background, two of Manchester City’s youngsters have secured loan moves for the 24/25 season. Mahamadou Susoho and Callum Doyle have secured season-long loan moves to Peterborough United and Norwich City, respectively. The loan moves for the pair should see them both get opportunities to further develop their games next season.
Firstly, young midfielder Mahamadou Susoho has joined Peterborough United on loan for next season. Susoho showed during City’s pre-season tour of the United States that he is a talented prospect. His loan move to Peterborough United should allow him to develop while playing regular first-team football. The move was confirmed by Peterborough United on their official website earlier today.
While Susoho has secured a loan move to Peterborough United, Norwich City today confirmed on their official website that Callum Doyle has joined the club on a season-long loan deal. The young defender will once again have another season in the Championship to further develop his game. He spent last season on loan at Leicester City. He will be hoping to continue his development at the Canaries in a bid to one day break into the Manchester City first-team.
The loan moves for Susoho and Doyle will allow them to play regularly next season.
The benefit of the season-long-loan moves for Mahamadou Susoho and Callum Doyle is that they will both get the opportunity to play regular first-team football next season. That is an opportunity that the pair wouldn’t have got at Manchester City next season. While the pair showed during Manchester City’s pre-season that they are talented prospects, they both aren’t quite ready for first-team football at the world champions.
Callum Doyle and Mahamadou Susoho are both at different points of their development. Doyle has completed loan spells at Sunderland, Coventry City and Leicester City. He has had the opportunity to develop his game in the second tier of English football. The hope is now he can have another good season for Norwich City and that could one day see him force his way into City’s first-team. Mahamadou Susoho has progressed through City’s academy system and is now set for his spell away from the Etihad. It will be interesting to see how he fares at Peterborough United as he clearly has the talent to become a quality player in time.
Manchester City have today seen two more quality players secure loan moves for the 24/25 season. How Callum Doyle and Mahamadou Susoho perform next season will be something to watch for throughout the season.
