The Premier League leaders could be in for a busy end to the transfer window. Pep Guardiola's side have rampaged their way through the league so far this season and could add a few fresh faces to ensure they continue their dominance in the English top flight.
Zidane wants to sign Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling has been brilliant for Manchester City in the past months. This season, the right winger has already scored 18 goals for the Citizens, as he has emerged as one of the most improved players in Europe.

Fernandinho signs contract extension
Manchester City has been brilliant this season and Fernandinho has been indispensable to their success this season. The Brazilian has been fantastic at protecting City's backline and as also captained the side on several occasions.
The defensive midfielder has been a pivotal part of Manchester City's resurgence, having made 30 appearances in all competitions this season. According to Washington Post, Fernandinho has signed a new two-year contract extension, which will keep him at the club until 2020.
