wintime999 Manchester City are leading the race to sign Bournemouth defender Illya Zabarni after impressing in their 2-1 win over them, despite knowing they face competition from a number of other clubs. wintime999

The ‘Talk Team’ report that the Ukrainian star performed brilliantly at the Vitality Stadium before the international break, with the Manchester Evening News giving him an 8 out of 10 rating for his performance against the ‘Blues’. 

This, coupled with the information being tracked by scouts, has led City to believe the 22-year-old is good enough to work with manager Josep Guardiola and is ready to make a move in January. 

However, it will not be easy for the four-time Premier League champions as both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also eyeing the player, and there is a chance that the bid price could be inflated. 

The 1.89m defender is contracted until June 2029 and is valued at £ 26.7m . ( wintime999 )
