David Pizarro's loan move to Manchester City could signal the end of Owen Hargreaves's career at the club.

The Chilean midfielder signed for the Premier League leaders on Tuesday until the end of the season.

However, Pizarro's arrival could edge Hargreaves out of the Etihad Stadium, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Hargreaves, whose contract expires at the end of the season, moved to City from rivals Manchester United on a free transfer over the summer following three injury-plagued years at Old Trafford.
