Manchester City in 'advanced talks' with Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - report

The 26-year-old, who was named last season's Bundesliga player of the year with 19.7 percent of the vote, is thought to be the target of a number of clubs, including Real Madrid.

Aubameyang, who was also named African Footballer of the Year in January, scored 25 goals for Dortmund in the league last season, helping his side finish runners-up in to Bayern in the Bundesliga last season.

Like local rivals Manchester United, incoming manager Pep Guardiola could be making a number of changes to his squad over the summer, with Athletic Bilbao's Aymeric Laporte and Everton's John Stones also thought to be on his wish list.
