Man City bidding to beat Arsenal and Chelsea to Serbia starlet

Manchester City are closely monitoring the form of Serbia international forward Andrija Zivkovic.

The Premier League outfit, who narrowly lost 2-1 to Arsenal on Monday night, have been scouting the Partizan Belgrade winger ahead of the forthcoming January transfer window.

The 19-year-old, who already has three international caps for his country, has scored an impressive 12 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions for the SuperLiga side so far this season.

With City boss Manuel Pellegrini concerned over fellow midfielder Samir Nasri’s fitness this term, he is understood to be weighing up a move for Zivkovic in the New Year to add to his attacking options at the Etihad Stadium.

Reports also suggest Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea have sent scouts to watch the Serbian starlet in action throughout November and December.
