Nigerian -born Crystal Palace attacking midfielder, Eberechi Eze could be heading to Manchester City this summer.
City are trying to lure the Palace midfielder to Etihad before the transfer window closes this summer.
The Cityzens have shifted their attention to the Crystal Palace attacking midfielder after a move for West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta broke down.
The Premier League and Champions League holders are considering other options as they look for back-up to the injured Kevin De Bruyne.
According to the Daily Mail, Eze has emerged as one of their top targets.
City scouts have returned with glowing reports on the 25-year-old.
City will make an official offer anytime from now to grab the services of the 25-year-old.
Pep Guardiola’s side was willing to offer £85million to sign Paqueta from West Ham before the deal broke down.
Eze is seen as a cheaper alternative and valued at around £70m, with two years left on his contract at Selhurst Park.
