Manchester City are scouting Lyon midfielder Tanguy Nbombele, according to reports in France.

A Premier League club reportedly offered €50m (£44m) for the Frenchman in the summer, with many believing it to be City, and it seems Pep Guardiola remains keen to snap up the 21-year-old.

Ndombele impressed in Lyon’s 2-1 victory over the Citizens last week, but it is not the only time the Manchester club have watched the player in action.

It is believed that a City scout was present when Nice beat his side 1-0 in a Ligue One match at the end of August, and it seems his performances could lead to another offer at the end of the season.

The French Under 21 international only signed for Lyon on a permanent deal in July following a year-long loan spell from Amiens. During his first campaign with the club, he made 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal and providing eight assists.

In just seven games this season, Ndombele has already racked up four assists and looks to have kicked on during his second campaign with the club.
