Manchester City are edging closer towards completing a deal to bring Werder Bremen winger Mesut Ozil to Eastlands, according to a report from The Independent.
The German international, 21, is seen as one of Europe's hottest prospects, and City are keen to bring him to England to fill the left-wing position in their team.
There have been reports that Martin Petrov and Craig Bellamy could leave Eastlands in the summer, leaving City short of options on the left side of midfield.
The Citizens are believed to have held preliminary talks with the player and are keen to conclude a deal before the World Cup, after which competition for his signature could heat up.

Now i know Mesut Ozil isn't Torres BUT he could well turn out to be a star of that calibre, anyone who watches bundesliga footy will know Ozil is one hell of a talent and already one of the best players in the german league.
This is another sleeper signing like Adam Johnson, i just hope we can get him in before the world cup as i'm sure he'll sky rocket in value after it!
Here's the standard old you tube comp, see what you think of the lad!
