Manchester City close in on January deal to sign Gil Vicente defender Pecks
Manchester City are set to swoop for Gil Vicente defender Pecks during the January transfer window after a recommendation from one of their scouts.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini has already hinted that he wants to add to his squad when the window reopens and 20-year-old Pecks looks to be the first to arrive.
The Cape Verde international has won over City scouts after breaking through at Portuguese club Gil Vicente, and a £5million deal is being talked up.
Pecks, whose full name is Pericles Santos Pereira, is also being eyed by Tottenham and Newcastle but City have a partnership with Gil Vicente and are the front runners.
Its thought that Pellegrini would use the defender in the first-team in the new year, with the youngster being tipped for big things.
A tall, powerful and tough-tackling centre half, Pecks has previously been compared to City captain Vincent Kompany and would be right at home at the Etihad Stadium.
