Olympique Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar is interesting Manchester City.
The Manchester Evening News City manager Pep Guardiola is keen to bring Aouar to England.
City could make an attempt for the winter market, though a pre-contract is also on the agenda as Aouar's deal expires in June.
Guardiola is a big fan of the midfielder and has said in the past: “We talk a lot about (Tanguy) Ndombele, but Aouar is also excellent.
"He is always very calm with the ball at his feet, with excellent technical quality. Lyon really have a very good team. There are young people full of quality and I think the team is in place tactically."
