Man City Transfers: 5 Strikers Pellegrini Could Sign Now Edinson Cavani Is Unavailable

3. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Aubameyang The Saint-‰tienne forward just keeps on getting better with every passing season and the Gabon international has emerged as a target for City in recent months. The 24-year old began his career with AC Milan as a 19-year-old but made only two appearances before being loaned out on four separate occasions to Dijon, Lille, Monaco and more recently Saint-‰tienne in 2011, where his stay became permanent. The much-travelled star has finally settled down though and netted 21 times in 44 appearances last season, finishing as the second-highest goalscorer in Ligue 1 behind only Zlatan Ibrahimovic. That has helped put him on the radar for a number of clubs including Arsenal, Newcastle United and Spurs. His agent, Oscar Damiani said of the interest in his client:
"There are a couple of clubs in the Bundesliga and there is interest from Newcastle and Tottenham. "And I know for certain that Manchester City and Arsenal watch him constantly."
That then could lead to a bid from City over the coming months if they're striking situation does not improve. £13 million should be enough to see a deal go through.
