Both Manchester United and Manchester City are keeping a close eye on Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to the player’s agent, Mateja Kezman.
The 22-year-old central midfielder, who scored seven goals in 38 appearances for the Italian club last term, has emerged as a key figure for Simone Inzaghi’s side during the last 18 months.
The 2017/18 Premier League season is still very young, but nobody will be surprised to see the two Manchester clubs battling it out at the summit of the table. Unsurprisingly, both clubs remain the hottest picks across the board with bookmakers to win the Premier League.
So, from a strictly neutral perspective, which manager has conducted the best business over the summer? With the more dynamic and energetic of the two Manchester teams likeliest to win the Premier League, three key areas – the wings, the central-midfield area and the final third – require deeper analysis, if a better idea of the trophy’s destination is to be gleaned.
Arsenal are ready to make a fresh approach to sign Manchester City striker Raheem Sterling when the transfer window reopens in January.

Manchester City have reportedly “explored” the possibility of signing Nigerian international Olarenwaju Kayode, BBC reports.
The 24-year-old forward, who plays for FK Austria Wien, is certainly a part of City’s plans for the future after agreeing to a four-year deal. However, City are yet to announce the deal for Kayode.
