Manchester City are now reportedly leading the race to sign a £35m Bayern Munich target straight after welcoming Antoine Semenyo.
Semenyo set to undergo Man City medical
Despite suggestions from Jamie Redknapp that there could be a late twist to the deal, Semenyo is all but confirmed to be a Man City player. The Bournemouth star bowed out in style with a last-gasp winner against Tottenham Hotspur last night and is set to undergo a medical in Manchester today, according to reports.
It's certainly firepower that the Citizens could do with, too. Pep Guardiola's side dropped even more points last night, allowing Arsenal to take their strongest hold yet on the Premier League title with victory over Liverpool this evening.
Speaking to reporters about the 1-1 draw with Brighton, Guardiola said: "The result is the result. I’m not a person who believes what we have done isn’t fair. One point for them, one point for us. That is what it is.

Manchester City's January business doesn't appear to be at an end, even with Antoine Semenyo's arrival imminent.
“I love a lot the way we played, we did many good things, but we don’t score goals. There are too many clear chances. It is not just one or two players, it is all the players up front who create a lot. Unfortunately we couldn’t score and scoring goals is part of the job."
It's become clear in recent weeks that this current version of Man City is not ready for a title charge of old. The Citizens are still in transition and could yet add another Premier League star to their ranks this month.
Man City leading race to sign Kayode
According to Caught Offside, Man City are now leading the race to sign Michael Kayode from Brentford. Those at the Etihad have reportedly been tracking the right-back alongside Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus, sparking quite the race to secure his signature.

Unlike Semenyo's hefty price-tag, City could reportedly land Kayode's arrival for just €40m (£35m), as Brentford prepare to lose another one of their top stars.
It's easy to see why there's so much interest in the 21-year-old. Como scout Ben Mattinson described him as a "powerful runner and overlapper" last summer and that's slowly becoming the norm for Guardiola's fullbacks once again.
As things stand, it's Matheus Nunes who's holding the right-back spot down, but he's never been a natural option. The arrival of Kayode would instantly solve what has been a long-term problem at the Etihad.
