Manchester City are set to turn to Everton's Mikel Arteta as they struggle to agree a deal for Aston Villa star James Milner, according to The Telegraph.
Roberto Mancini's side have been chasing the England international all summer, but have seen a bid of £20 million rejected. After being reportedly quoted a £30 million fee to prise the player away from Villa Park, they are set to move on to other targets.
Midfielder Arteta has shone in the Premier League for the last five years after moving from Real Sociedad. At 28, he is understood to be be eager to move to a bigger club to try and force his way into the Spain national team.
This attitude could see him force through a switch to the big-spending Eastlands outfit. A £20 million bid could be enough to see him join countryman David Silva in Manchester.
