According to The Pitch Prospect, Marc Guehi is expected to join Manchester City this month.
As reported earlier this week, City were preparing an offer for Guehi and have now begun formal talks with Crystal Palace.

Personal terms are not an issue and City will now try to negotiate Palace down from their £35m asking price.
Liverpool came close to signing Guehi in the summer but are unlikely to be able to match City’s offer in this transfer window.
The England defender’s contract expires in June, when the Eagles would lose him without a transfer.
City have increased their interest in recent weeks due to injuries to centre-backs Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol.
The Pitch Prospect understands Guehi is interested in the move to the Etihad and wants around £200,000 a week.
Pep Guardiola’s side are currently six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal after three consecutive games without a win.
