According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City and Chelsea are going head-to-head for Olympique Lyonnais defender Mouctar Diakhaby. The 20-year-old has made four Ligue 1 appearances this season and could be set for a bright future.
Diakhaby played in both Europa League meetings with Everton in October and November, helping Lyon to two victories and just one goal conceded. The French u21 international, who has represented his country five times at youth level, could be inundated with offers in the January transfer window.
Both City and Chelsea are believed to be bolstering their defensive options and could make a bid for Diakhaby as a result.
