Man City hold talks to sign top Mourinho striker target – reports

Manchester City have have been linked with a move for Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik, according to reports in Italy. 

The Citizens who are now facing a period of weeks/months without a recognised senior striker are looking for cover.

Milik had been close to joining Roma earlier this month but after Edin Dzeko’s proposed switch to Juventus fell through, the Poland international’s future is now uncertain.

Tottenham have already held discussions over a deal for Milik as Jose Mourinho wants to sign a striker who can ease the workload on Harry Kane.
