Manchester City are chasing St Etienne striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gabon striker, 23, was dubbed football's King of Bling last month for sporting £2,500 crystal-covered boots.

Aubameyang, rated at £10million, hit 18 club goals last season.

Tottenham and Newcastle want him but he has now revealed: "There have been contacts with the Manchester clubs.

"I'm being followed in Italy too, especially by Fiorentina, and another big club."
