Manchester City are moving for Wigan Athletic striker Amr Zaki.

Zaki joined the Latics on a season-long loan deal from El Zamalek in Egypt this summer and has settled immediately in England, scoring seven goals in his first eight league games, including a brace in Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Liverpool.

Steve Bruce insists that Wigan have an agreement in principle with the Cairo club to sign Zaki at the end of his loan stint, but the Egypt international's superb form has alerted a number of clubs.

El Zamalek confirmed that they are set to hold discussions with City in the coming days in a bid to resolve Zaki's long-term future.

A statement from the Egyptian club read: "A Zamalek delegation will fly to either Manchester or Abu Dhabi, not determined yet, to hold talks with City representatives over Zaki."
