Man City to bid for Marseille N'Koulou

Telegraph states that Man City boss Roberto Mancini is interested in signing Marseille defender Nicolas N’Koulou in an effort to strengthen the Citizens’ defensive line.

Mancini considers the 22 year-old Cameroonian as an ideal replacement to Joleon Lescott and Kolo Touré with both players likely to be leaving the club in summer. However Marseille are unlikely to let their player go for anything less than £7 million.

N’Koulou has made 19 Ligue 1 appearances this season.
