Overview

• Tottenham have moved to the front for Manuel Akanji, with Manchester City ready to sell for about £15m according to local reporting.
• AC Milan have sounded out his availability and have not submitted a formal bid, with the Swiss centre-back listed among their defensive targets.
• Italian reports say City reached a club-to-club agreement with Galatasaray for roughly €17.5m, but the player has not accepted a move to Turkey.
• Akanji’s early-season involvement has been minimal, with one game as an unused substitute followed by omission from the next league matchday squad.
• Director of football Hugo Viana said the club are "working" on deals ahead of the deadline, with an outcome on Akanji expected in the coming days.
