Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are looking to make late moves in the summer transfer window, as they search for a creative midfielder after the failed attempt to sign Lucas Paqueta. The FA's investigation into alleged betting breaches has put a halt to the transfer.
The Premier League champions are now looking at Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and Wolves' Matheus Nunes as potential signings. Eze is an England international who has shone during two seasons at Selhurst Park. However, Palace chairman Steve Parish is likely to ask for an asking price of over £70m for his star man.
City are also said to be monitoring another one of Palace's stars, Michael Olise, however the France U21 international recently signed a new contract at the south London club. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is also said to be interested in Eze, as he looks to bolster his attacking options following the sale of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
If City are successful in signing Eze, it will leave Parish with just a week left to replace him before the summer transfer window closes. That being said, City have already agreed to sign Rennes winger Jeremy Doku for £55.4m and have Wolves' Nunes as a back-up plan if they fail to land Eze.
