Cashed-up Manchester City are reportedly set to swoop for Aston Villa winger Ashley Young.
The Eastlands club have made it clear they intend to strengthen their squad as they plan to offload some current stars and Young’s name has been bandied around as a potential signing in the next transfer window.
City officials are believed to be keen to get rid of Craig Bellamy, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Martin Petrov and bring in fresh talent and Young clearly fits that bill.
City also have reported interest in Young’s Villa teammate James Milner but manager Martin O’Neill said anything there was highly unlikely to eventuate.
