Manchester City are reportedly keeping a keen eye on a Premier League star ahead of the summer transfer window.

City's stop-start season continued on Saturday afternoon after they suffered a narrow defeat at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Callum Hudson-Odoi scored in the 87th minute to seal a vital 1-0 win for Nuno Espirito Santo's men.

The defeat left City in fourth place, 23 points adrift of leaders Liverpool.

Manchester City 'interested' in Premier League star

Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, it has been claimed that City are keeping a close eye on Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton.

As reported by TBR Football, Pep Guardiola and City are 'huge admirers of Wharton and the Premier League champions were in attendance at Selhurst Park to see the 21-year-old start in Palace’s 1-0 win over Ipswich Town'.

However, it has been suggested that Palace are looking to keep the midfielder at the club and are prepared to offer him a 'substantial new contract'.

The report also stated that City are considering making a bid for Wharton in the summer to test Palace's resolve.

Aside from City, the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa have also been linked with the 21-year-old.

Speaking about Wharton last month, Premier League legend Alan Shearer branded him as 'really exciting'.

He said: "Adam Wharton… he was that player wasn’t he that sneaked into Gareth Southgate’s squad. He didn’t feature obviously in the Euros, but you can see the talent there.

"Really good in that position, he’s aggressive but he also keeps the ball – but he looks forward when he passes as well."

Shearer continued: "That’s a good thing about him. I think certainly, from a forward’s point of view, is that it’s his first thought I think all the time. It makes your job easier as a forward when you’ve got a midfielder who’s prepared to do that.

"I know it sounds really simple but a lot of the time you don’t see it but he’s a really talented midfielder – I hope he stays fit now because he’s really exciting."
