Manchester City are eyeing Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma.
City see the Japan international as a replacement for Riyad Mahrez after his sale to Al-Ahli last week.
Mitoma caught the eye with Brighton last season and has impressed City's football chiefs.
According to one Etihad source, Mitoma is a player City manager Pep Guardiola admires - and finds 'very interesting', says the Daily Star.
Chelsea are also watching developments closely.
