Episodes One and Two covered South America and Europe, with revelations about our scouts tracking Gabriel Jesus’ progress in his native Brazil, through to explanations behind why Aymeric Laporte stood out to our data team before joining City. But the third instalment instead focuses on a region with a rapidly rising stock in world football: North America. The United States in particular has been at the forefront of the Women’s game for some time, and Manchester City Women’s Managing Director Gavin Makel lifts the lid on how key names from across the Atlantic, such as Rose Lavelle and Sam Mewis, were recruited. Amongst others, you can also hear a unique insight into how Zack Steffen was identified as a top target to suit our fluid style of play from NYCFC and Scandinavia Scout Lead Khaled El-Ahmad.
