Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has been linked with a move to City. The Spanish international is a similar player to Rodri and turned down a move to Liverpool in the summer. The Reds could reignite their interest if City come calling, though, for a player who Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has said 'all coaches would want'.

Chelsea went top of the Women's Super League with a 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday as Mayra Ramirez and Guro Reiten netted second-half goals to move them past their visitors in the standings.
