Dabo heading for City exit

Manchester City midfielder Ousmane Dabo has set his sights on leaving Eastlands after describing his situation as “laughable”.

Dabo joined the club from Lazio in 2006 but has found it hard to impress new manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and has yet to feature under the Swede.

And the 30-year-old has grown increasingly frustrated at his lack of opportunities.

He told the News of the World: “I would like to find a new club. I have no chance of playing here and I am very disappointed.

“I’m the only player in the first-team squad who hasn’t been given a chance this season.

“After a while it gets so ridiculous that it becomes laughable.”
