Manchester City are interested in Chelsea right back Reece James and have added the in-form star to their shortlist, according to reports.
James is said to be admired by Pep Guardiola, who is braced for a busy summer with an overhaul lined up at the Etihad, and he has become City's latest big-name target.
The Athletic claim that Chelsea are unwilling to sell James, who would be joining a rival in the title race, but City are thought to be keen on brokering a deal regardless.
