Stuart Pearce has confirmed he is looking to bring Tunisia full-back Hatem Trabelsi to Manchester City from Ajax as he aims to tighten up the Eastlands club´s defence.City ended their participation in the Shanghai International tournament on Sunday with a 4-3 defeat at the hands of Japanese side Kashima Antlers. But now Pearce is hoping the highly-rated World Cup defender will become the sixth player to join the club during the close season."He´s available," said Pearce. "I think he´s a good player and we´re speaking to him and his representatives. That´s where we are at the moment. He´s not signed yet for the club so we are hoping that might progress in the next couple of days."
