Man City have made progress as they look to make an in-form star their first January arrival, according to a trusted reporter.

Manchester City are working on deals to sign Omar Marmoush and Abdukodir Khusanov this month. There are no agreements in place for either player yet but discussions are advancing as City intensify their efforts to recruit both.

The future of Omar Marmoush continues to be uncertain after Eintracht Frankfurt revealed they have not held talks over his exit this month after telling Manchester City how much they want for their talismanic forward.
