Manchester City want to sign Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Jude Bellingham, according to 90min.

Saka and Bellingham stood out at the World Cup in Qatar, as England reached the quarter-final stage before defeat to France.

But the pair have been in fine form for their club sides too.

Bukayo Saka is still only 21 years old, but has already developed into the main man for a Premier League contender.

The Gunners sit top of the league, ahead of favourites Manchester City, largely due to Saka's goal contributions.

He has four goals and six assists in 14 appearances, so it is no wonder that Pep Guardiola's side are interested.

But City's chances of signing him are slim. Even with a lucrative offer, Mikel Arteta would be foolish to sell to his former club.

Bellingham to City?

Bellingham is a more realistic option for City, given he plays for the 'selling club' that is Dortmund.

The Bundesliga side have a history of letting their top players leave, with Erling Haaland making the move to the Etihad Stadium in the last window.

City will face competition from almost all of Europe's top clubs. Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid have all been linked.

But their financial power, coupled with Guardiola's winning project, could persuade the former Birmingham City man to make the move.
