Manchester City are firming up their interest in Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
The Telegraph says City are weighing up a £40m bid for Ndombele in January,
City boss Pep Guardiola wants to bring in competition for Fernandinho in the short term and a long-term replacement for the Brazilian.
And Lyon's 21-year-old midfielder has been earmarked as a possible target.
However, their valuation falls well short of OL's £70m assessment.
