Why a move to Manchester City would propel Rose into the world's spotlight

He’s from Yorkshire, so naturally he’s tough, and he scored one of the best debut goals of all time. He’s better than Aleksandar Kolarov, who can provide a final ball but is hardly effective defensively. He’s faster than Gael Clichy and offers more in attack. But, more importantly he’s English and he’s only 24 years old. So, it would seem only natural that he is on Manchester City’s radar this summer. Ever since his debut goal for Tottenham against arch rivals Arsenal it seems that Danny Rose has been in the back of fans’ minds for years. But, now that Manchester City are interested two things are for certain. One, in the shadow of St. Totterinham’s day, White Hart Lane could be set for even more White Hart Pain in the near future and two the back of people’s minds is the last place that Danny Rose could end up if a proposed 15 million pound move goes through.

A move to City would propel Rose into the World’s spotlight. Surely an England call up would also be in the cards. The 24 year old has certain talent and there can be no denying that. Having started 25 times in the League this season he has offered more to his Spurs side than Kolarov and Clichy have at City during their entire spells. However, this is not to say that success at City is a sure bet. There have been young Englishmen before him and there will be young Englishmen after him that will fail. Whether this is or will be due to the pressures of playing for a side that is on such a big stage, famished for success, will remain to be seen. Danny Rose can be a part of a certain new regime at City though if he remains committed to improvement rather than content with the money his progression is sure to bring.
