The deposed champions will overhaul their squad following a woeful title defence and have put Rose on their list of targets.

It remains to be seen if Manuel Pellegrini stays as manager, but club bosses are desperate to sign a new left back.

Aleksandar Kolarov has struggled to hold down a regular starting place this season and the Serbian international is keen on leaving the Etihad.

Rival Gael Clichy has been Pellegrini's preferred choice in the position but has still disappointed since joining from Arsenal last summer.

Pellegrini is keen to bring someone in to challenge Clichy and reckons Rose is the man for the job.

Rose, 24, joined Spurs from Leeds in 2007 after coming through the ranks at the Yorkshire outfit.

He struggled to make an impact at White Hart Lane and was sent out on loan to the likes of Watford, Peterborough and Sunderland before returning to Spurs.

But he has flourished this season under Mauricio Pochetino and enjoyed his best campaign.

He has made the left-back slot his own ahead of Ben Davies and was called into Roy Hodgson's England squad for the March internationals against Lithuania and Italy.

He was forced to withdraw injured but the fact Hodgson drafted him in shows how much progress he has made in the last 12 months.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is renowned for his tough negotiating but City he could be tempted with a bid of around £15m.
