Douglas Costa linked with Man City

Manchester City will reportedly lodge a move for Bayern Munich attacker Douglas Costa when Pep Guardiola takes over the reigns this summer.

The Brazil international has been in good form for the Bavarian giants since his move from Shakhtar Donetsk last year.

Guardiola is said to have played a prime role in luring the 25-year-old to the Allianz Arena, and according to Globo Esporte, the Spaniard is now confident of taking the player alongside him to new club Manchester City.

The pacey winger has netted five goals in 25 appearances for the Bundesliga holders this term.
