Manchester City news

Arsenal are reportedly ready to enter the transfer race for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. The England international seemed set to join Liverpool on the last day of the summer transfer window, only for the Eagles to pull the plug on the move at the 11th hour. Manchester City are now among the favourites to recruit the 25-year-old, but the Gunners are now interested in the centre-back, too.

Antoine Semenyo bid farewell to Bournemouth in the best possible fashion, netting a 95th-minute winner against Tottenham at the Vitality Stadium to end his side's 11-match run without a Premier League victory. As his team-mate Marcus Tavernier told Sky Sports, "There was no better way for [his last game] to go. That was the type of stuff you write in movies and no man deserves it more than him."

Antoine Semenyo appears destined to leave Bournemouth for Manchester City in a £65 million ($87m) deal, but Jamie Redknapp has predicted a “twist” that could yet see the Ghana international end up at Liverpool. No move for the 26-year-old forward has been signed off as yet, meaning that he could still be lured away from the Etihad Stadium and over to Anfield.

Antoine Semenyo delivered the perfect parting gift to Bournemouth fans ahead of his move to Manchester City later this week. The departing Cherries star rifled home a 95th-minute winner against Tottenham with what could prove to be his final touch for the club, topping off what was an electric and unpredictable evening on the south coast under the lights.

Erling Haaland has linked up with UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov for an Instagram post that simply read 'Mentality'. However, eagle-eyed Manchester City fans were quick to spot the motivational message in the background of the image as the Cityzens look to chase down league leaders Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table. City went into the midweek fixtures six points behind the Gunners.

Erling Haaland could not seize several opportunities to move Manchester City to within three points of Premier League leaders Arsenal ahead as, despite scoring from the penalty spot to put his side ahead at the Etihad, Brighton fought back to claim a 1-1 draw on Wednesday, extending City's frustrating run of draws to three games in the top-flight.

Mario Balotelli is set to complete a transfer to the 14th club of his career as he closes in on a switch to Al-Ittifaq FC of Dubai. The former Manchester City and Liverpool striker has been a free agent since he left Italian side Genoa over the summer. Balotelli signed for the Serie A outfit on a season-long deal last October but did not stay there long.

Oliver Glasner has refused to rule out a January exit for Marc Guehi, admitting he "is not naive" to the lure of Manchester City. With the defender’s deal expiring this summer, the Palace boss used a vivid analogy about "freezing" to explain why a massive bid could force a sale. Glasner concedes that if finances outweigh sporting needs, the captain will be sold.

Antoine Semenyo is set to make his final appearance for Bournemouth before joining Manchester City when the Cherries host Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night, with a medical reportedly booked for the following day. The winger has been heavily linked with a move away this transfer window, with a £65 million ($87.7m) release clause set to expire on January 10.

Manchester City’s title defence has been plunged into chaos following a devastating triple injury blow that leaves Pep Guardiola with a threadbare defence. The City boss has confirmed that Ruben Dias will miss up to six weeks with a hamstring injury, while Josko Gvardiol is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a leg fracture. To compound matters, Guardiola admitted he has "no idea" when John Stones will return.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has offered his sympathy to Ruben Amorim following his sacking by Manchester United. The Catalan coach insisted that margins in the Premier League are incredibly fine and pointed to significant injury crises as key factors, while labelling the departing Portuguese boss as a 'top manager' who deserved more time to implement his process at Old Trafford.

Manchester City are potentially at risk of being without key defender Josko Gvardiol for the rest of the season following the injury he sustained in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Chelsea. The Croatian defender had to be helped off the pitch in the second half, in the same game as chief centre-back partner Ruben Dias was also unable to continue, while John Stones is still sidelined.
