Antoine Semenyo will reportedly undergo a medical this week ahead of his move to Man City in the January transfer window.
The winger is set to join City from Bournemouth in a £65 million deal. He is expected to play his final game for the Cherries on Wednesday when they host Tottenham Hotspur at Dean Court.
Sky Sports News report that Semenyo will undergo medical tests on Thursday as the transfer moves closer to completion.
Semenyo medical booked as Man City eye next transfer target
“Formal steps are expected to progress” after the Spurs game, “with everything agreed in principle”. The player’s release clause expires on Friday.
Meanwhile, City could make a move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi after losing key defenders to injury. Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol joined John Stones on the treatment table after picking up injuries during Sunday’s draw with Chelsea.
City have recalled Max Alleyne from his loan at Watford to help make up the numbers, but defensive signings could happen this month.
BBC Sport claim that City are “exploring a move” for Guehi in January, but will wait until they learn the full extent of Dias and Gvardiol’s condition before making a final decision on pursuing their interest. Liverpool are also interested in signing the centre-back, whose contract expires in the summer.
Pep Guardiola played down the possibility of signing multiple players in January. “Maybe we get something but it is completely different [to last season]. We are not going to buy four or five players like last season,” he said ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Brighton.
On Guehi’s future, Palace boss Oliver Glasner said: “I don’t know what will happen. It’s just the 6th [of January]. Honestly, I don’t know. Injuries can happen, you never know.
“But I know Marc will play tomorrow. I expect it. He trained. But I don’t know what will happen.”
