Manchester City are preparing a shock January bid for Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse. The Daily Star says City boss Manuel Pellegrini is plotting a shock £20m swoop for Cisse.
Pellegrini is keen to sign a striker in the January transfer window and has made Cisse one of his main targets.
The Chilean will be without Sergio Aguero for up to eight weeks with damaged knee ligaments and needs extra firepower as City look to defend their title.
Senegal hitman Cisse has been in impressive form this season, plundering seven goals in nine outings for the Magpies.
