Defending Premier League champions Manchester City are said to be interested in Copenhagen striker Orri Oskarsson as a backup to Erling Haaland after the departure of Julian Alvarez.

Orri is expected to leave his current side before the end of the summer transfer window, with many European clubs circling in on the 19-year-old.

Despite Manchester City being huge admirers of the player, the team is not expected to try and sign him as they are content with the squad they have on hand, according to a report by The Athletic.

The Iceland international scored seven goals in 11 appearances last season and his price tag has reportedly been set at 20 million euros.
