Man City face competition from Liverpool as they 'look to sign' Yeremi Pino and more rumours

Manchester City are among the teams linked with Villarreal's Yeremi Pino, according to reports.

The 19-year-old scored four goals for Unai Emery's team at the weekend as he helped them to a 5-1 win over Espanyol and Pep Guardiola's side are said to be one of the clubs 'most interested' in signing him. Their Premier League rivals Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in the youngster.

So far this season, Pino has seven goals and four assists in 33 appearances, showcasing his talents against the likes of Manchester United, Atalanta and Juventus in the Champions League.

Spanish outlet Fichajes say a host of clubs are monitoring the Spaniard, who is already capped at senior level, with Arsenal and Chelsea also said to be pursuing the teenager. He has five years remaining on his current deal in Spain and is valued by Transfermarkt at £27m.

Another player who has been linked with the blue half of Manchester in recent weeks is PSV Eindhoven's Cody Gakpo. The 22-year-old has reportedly caught the eye of a number of Premier League teams, with one of his PSV teammates admitting they're very proud he's being linked with such big clubs.

Speaking to Voetbal International (via Sport Witness ), Jordan Teze said: "Of course, that makes us very proud [Gakpo being linked with a Premier League move]. Cody is having a good season, and we still have some way to go.

"There are good things coming for him. It’s great that his name is being linked with big clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool. That’s an example of how we want it in the end."
