Man City 'exploring' swoop for Arsenal full-back Kieran Tierney and more transfer rumours

Manchester City are reportedly working to see if a deal can be done with title rivals Arsenal over the transfer of Scottish defender Kieran Tierney.

As reported by Football Insider, Pep Guardiola is keen to strengthen in the full-back area in the summer transfer window, with Tierney said to be a target for City. The 25-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad this term, having made just five Premier League starts.

Oleksandr Zinchenko - who left the Blues to join Mikel Arteta's side last summer - has been the Gunners' first-choice left-back this campaign. Meanwhile, the report adds Tierney is open to a move away from the Emirates after struggling for consistent game time - with Newcastle and Aston Villa also thought to be interested in the defender.

City are reportedly exploring the conditions of a deal, including how much the Scotsman would cost and if he would be interested in a move to the reigning champions. Should the Gunners allow Tierney to leave the club, they are expected to demand around £30million for the player.

Elsewhere, Spanish publication AS have reported Jude Bellingham is favouring a move to Real Madrid in the summer transfer window as speculation around his future continues to intensify.

The England international - who has three years remaining on his current deal with Borussia Dortmund - is thought to be a target for Guardiola's side, depending on the futures of Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan. Bellingham is enjoying a productive campaign in Germany, having registering five goals and five assists in 29 appearances.

The report claims Los Blancos will begin formal negotiations with Dortmund when
