Manchester City are watching Porto midfielder Yacine Brahimi.
The exciting Algeria international is emerging as one of the hottest transfer properties in Europe this season.

However, his agent, François Gil told Foot Mercato: "I deny totally. Yacine is now focused on Porto and the results of his team.
"All the rest are just rantings of people not part of the player's entourage."
