Manchester City Transfer News and Rumours Tracker: Week of December 1

Manchester City needed a turnaround in form, and it appears they may have found it.

After winning just once in six matches going in to the international break, they have now won their last three, including a convincing 3-0 win away at Southampton.

With Chelsea dropping points to Sunderland, it's certainly been a good weekend for City. The champions now find themselves second in the table, six points adrift of the leaders.

With momentum building, and with some money to play with, City may well step up their desire to bring a player in during the January transfer window.

Here are all the rumours about potential January deals coming in and out of the Etihad. 

Gaya, Song, Kurzawa and Bony All Linked with City

According to John Ashdown over on The Guardian's Rumour Mill, City are interested in 19-year-old Valencia full-back Jose Gaya and Barcelona defensive midfielder Alex Song, who is currently on loan at West Ham.

They have also been linked with Layvin Kurzawa of Monaco and Swansea striker Wilfried Bony.

Gaya and Kurzawa are presumably seen as the answer to City's problematic left-back position, with both impressing for their respective clubs this season.

Song was Man of the Match when City lost to West Ham earlier in the season and has looked well capable of making an impact in the Premier League on a consistent basis since his move there.

Meanwhile, Bony has been continually impressive since he arrived in England last season and scored against City last week. 

Aguero Going Nowhere, Insists Pellegrini

Derick Allsop, writing in the Daily Mirror, has suggested that City will resist any offers for star striker Sergio Aguero after his recent form appears to have reminded everyone he is one of the finest out-and-out strikers on the planet.

His 17 goals in 19 appearances this season will no doubt have alerted long-term suitors Barcelona and Real Madrid, who may be tempted to test City's resolve with big-money offers.

However, manager Manuel Pellegrini has said City are not a selling club.

"City is not a club that sells its players. It is a club that wants to buy good players as we want to improve every year," he said.
