The Premier League's biggest clubs are chasing Celtic striker Moussa Dembele.
The Sunday Express says the young striker, who was an academy starlet at Paris St Germain, has been a revelation since moving to Scotland from Fulham on a four-year contract in the summer.
Chelsea and Manchester United both watched him Dembele at Ross County last week and City will run the rule over him again in their Champions League second leg clash with Celtic on December 6.
But Real Madrid remain in the box seat for a player whose value has rocketed to at least £40million in less than four months.
Real coach Zinedine Zidane said: "I have played with great strikers like Ronaldo, Henry and Raul, and you knew on the biggest occasions they would win you games. Dembele is already showing that."
