Manchester City have reportedly picked out a transfer target after a dramatic win against Leeds United.
On Saturday afternoon, City welcomed newly-promoted Leeds to the Etihad Stadium as the 25/26 Premier League season continues.
With Arsenal taking on Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, Pep Guardiola's men had the chance to move within four points of the summit with a victory.
The match started perfectly for the hosts as Phil Foden scored inside the first minute before Josko Gvardiol made it 2-0 in the 25th minute.

In the second half, Dominic Calvert-Lewin made it 2-1 after just four minutes before Lukas Nmecha stunned the Etihad Stadium by making it 2-2.
Foden then scored his second goal of the match in the stoppage time to make it 3-2.
Eventually, the hosts managed to hold off a late Leeds charge to secure three vital points.
As a result, City moved into second place with 25 points while Leeds remained in 18th.
Following a dramatic afternoon at the Etihad Stadium, City have now been linked with a major signing ahead of the January transfer window.
According to Foot Mercato, City are among the teams interested in Everton talisman Iliman Ndiaye.
Ndiaye, 25, moved to Everton during the summer of 2024 and has since become a key player for the Toffees.
So far, the forward has managed 15 goals in 50 matches and is attracting interest from around the country.
In the 25/26 campaign, Ndiaye has managed four goals and one assist in 14 matches across all competitions for David Moyes' side as they currently sit 12th in the Premier League table.
It has been reported that City, along with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, are keeping tabs on the player.
It has been claimed that Ndiaye could be on the above-mentioned clubs' shortlist as they look to add more quality to their attacking options.
