Irons look for jolly good Kompany!
But according to The Mirror the Belgian international needs to finish the season with a flourish if they are to firm up their interest.
The Irons are known to be set for negotiations over right back Pablo Zabaletta and are reportedly ready to listen to City should they decide that Kompany can also exit the club.
The player is fit again after a nightmare two-year injury spell which has restricted his City appearances to just seven since the end of last season.
Pep Guardiola restored Kompany to City’s suspect defence in the 2-1 defeat at Chelsea on April 5 – his first league game since a win at Crystal Palace in mid November.
And although the Spaniard recognises the experienced star could play a role next season, suspicions remain that Kompany’s injury history makes that a gamble.
Whether the Irons will be ready to get deeply involved given that and the player’s age remains to be seen but at his best there are few better than him.
