Schalke 04's Sead Kolasinac is reportedly wanted by a host of clubs, but Manchester City are said to be leading the race to sign the Bosnia and Herzegovina international.
A report from German source Sport Bild (h/t TalkSport) has put City ahead of Premier League duo Chelsea and West Ham United in the queue for a player whose contract expires in the summer.
The reports also indicated how City have repeatedly watched left-back Kolasinac. A move during the January transfer window has been mooted, with Schalke tipped to accept a reduced fee for a player who will be able to walk away for free at the end of the season.
