Sven-Goran Eriksson intends to rubber stamp Manchester City's Champions League credentials by freshening up his excting squad in January.
And his chief target is Villarreal's Argentine World Cup star Juan Riquelme, who would cost arund £6million to lure away from La Liga.
Eye am going to join Sven: Riquelme's set to switch
There have been doubts as to whether or not his style would suit English football but former England coach Eriksson is convinced the South American would be a big addition to a squad which plays a fluid passing game.
Meanwhile Kaspar Schmeichel may have been dropped from the City side which hammered Mewcastle 3-1 on Saturday but he is set to treble his wages by signing a new long-term deal to stay at Eastlands.
Liverpool and Arsenal are locked in a £10m battle for Marseille's French sensation Samir Nasri, hailed as the new Zidane while Harry Kewell is facing a battle to win a new Anfield contract after struggling with a groin problem.
Aston Villa and Everton are both chasing 19-year-old Ipswich midfielder Danny Haynes and Sir Alex Ferguson has won the race to sign Irish wonder kid Rob Brady, hailed as the new George Best.
Bolton are checking out Michael Mifsud, who scored the goals which enabled Coventry to knock Manchester United out of the Carling Cup at a stunned Old Trafford.
And Everton are interested in Swindon's Slovakian goalkeeper Peter Brezovan after he training with the Goodison park club last week.
Rumour of the day: Fulham want to sign Watford's promising youngster Lloyd Doyley. No chance: Andy Johnson will not be allowed to leave Everton even though his form has dipped and he is home sick.
