Man City to 'push' for Marc Cucurella if Oleksandr Zinchenko is sold and more transfer rumours

Manchester City will reportedly 'push' to sign Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella if Oleksandr Zinchenko leaves for Arsenal.

The 25-year-old left-back is currently City's third longest-serving player at the club, but the Ukrainian looks set to reunite with former coach Mikel Arteta as his move to north London draws closer. City will make a sizeable profit should they sell Zinchenko and the club have wasted no time in eyeing up a potential replacement in the form of Brighton's Cucurella.

According to the Daily Mail, City hope to rubber-stamp Zinchenko's exit soon so they can strengthen their pursuit of Cucurella. The Spaniard has been on City's radar all summer after a hugely impressive first season in the Premier League.

Kounde has been heavily linked with a move away from Sevilla in recent seasons. The Daily Mail claim Barcelona are confident they will secure a deal for the France international, but they will face competition from City and Chelsea.
