Manchester City are intensifying their pursuit of Malaga winger Isco.

The exciting 21-year-old is valued at £27million and has been courted by Chelsea and Paris St Germain.

Malaga sporting director Armando Mario Husillos said: "We have [had discussions] with regard to some of our players that may be of interest to Txiki Begiristain, their sporting director."
