Manchester City have opened talks to sign AS Roma midfielder Manu Koné. The club’s interest comes after Arsenal completed personal terms with the 23‑year‑old Frenchman. Arsenal’s agreement was said to be final ahead of City’s approach. French legend Patrick Vieira stated Koné is the best midfielder in France today and likened his abilities to Aurelien Tchouameni. City’s move follows a recent record deal for Elliot Anderson. Both English clubs are anticipated to negotiate with Roma for the player’s transfer fee. The situation develops as the summer window nears its close.
