Manchester City are ready to battle Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain for the signature of West Ham's Dimitri Payet .

According to Spanish newspaper Don Balon , Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of the French playmaker and has identified him as a marquee signing this summer.

Payet capped a superb performance by scoring a brilliant last-minute winner in France's opening game of Euro 2016 on Friday night.

PSG are thought to be watching his situation carefully – and Chelsea are also keen.

Payet signed a new £125,000-a-week contract at West Ham in February but a move to one of Europe's elite clubs is likely to appeal to the 29-year-old.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan are looking to circumnavigate FFP rules by getting Chinese side Jiangsu Suning to buy Yaya Toure from City – and then loaning him back to the Italian giants.

According to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport , Inter, who were taken over by Chinese financial giants Suning Commerce Group last week, are desperate to land the Ivorian, with former City boss Roberto Mancini a huge fan of his quality.

Inter could become a satellite club for their other football outfit, Jiangsu Suning, by taking players on loan, meaning they can avoid having to register transfer fees with Uefa.

Sounds dodgy? Inter are also considering getting sponsors to pay part of his wages in order to fund the deal.
