TARGET: Man City want Layvin Kurzawa

Man City have made a shock £17m swoop for Monaco left-back Layvin Kurzawa.

The Daily Star Sunday can reveal Kurzawa, 22, flew to Manchester last Tuesday to discuss a move to City in January's transfer window.

But he did not attend City's Champions League victory against Bayern Munich that night in an attempt to keep his proposed move secret.

It is understood Kurzawa, who has also interested Man United and Chelsea, watched the match on TV in a Manchester hotel.

STAR: Kurzawa has been a big hit in the French youth sides

And City could yet face late competition for Kurzawa from United, who could see him as an alternative to Luke Shaw.

City already have two left backs - Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov. But Clichy's form has been inconsistent and Kolarov is a target for former City boss Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan.


The Daily Star Sunday first reported City's interest in the France international in April.

City, meanwhile, are now more hopeful of extending Frank Lampard's loan from sister club New York City until March. And the ex-England midfielder, 36, could return next season.
