Manchester City 'set for January talks on signing £64m Erling Haaland next summer' as Pep Guardiola sharpens his focus on the Borussia Dortmund striker after missing out on Harry Kane

Manchester City will step up their pursuit of Erling Haaland with the club set for talks with his agent Mino Raiola in January over a move to the Premier League next summer.

According to The Times, Haaland is now the top name on City's list of transfer targets and Pep Guardiola is looking for a new No 9 after the departure of Sergio Aguero last summer.

City, of course, launched an attempt to lure Harry Kane from Tottenham but while the England captain was keen to move, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy held firm.
