Manchester City 'considering £30m Yves Bissouma bid'

Manchester City are reportedly considering a move to sign Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma this summer.

The Premier League champions-elect are believed to be looking to sign a replacement for 36-year-old captain Fernandinho, who is out of contract at the end of this season.

Bissouma has become a star player for the Seagulls since arriving from Lille in 2018, and a string of impressive displays have caught the eye of several clubs in the Premier League.

According to The Mirror, City are set to join Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United in the race to sign the 24-year-old, who is valued at around £30m.

Hammers midfielder and England international Declan Rice has also emerged as a potential target for Pep Guardiola's side, although his £90m valuation is one City are not prepared to meet.

Bissouma has made 32 appearances for Brighton in the Premier League so far this season, scoring once in a defeat against Everton in October.
