Reports suggest  City could compete with Newcastle United for Sochaux striker Cedric Bakambu.

Reports in France in the last few days suggest that Newcastle could be leading the chase to sign Bakambu, who has scored four goals this term, but SportsDirect News understands that Norwich manager Chris Hughton is ready to try his luck with a bid.

The 22-year-old looks a good prospect and is a regular for France at Under-20 level, though Norwich may have to sell before they can buy this month.
