Manchester City hope to sign Wolfsburg star Kevin De Bruyne in time to play his old club Chelsea in the Premier League next weekend, according to the Daily Star.
The Belgian international was outstanding in the Bundesliga last season and is now regarded as one of the best talents in European football, attracting interest from Bayern Munich as well this summer.
