Manchester City are said to be lining up a bid for Swansea City winger Scott Sinclair.

Citizens boss Roberto Mancini reportedly wants to add a pacy wideman to his squad ahead of the new season.

Mancini had originally targeted Theo Walcott but, after deeming the Arsenal man to be too expensive, he has now switched his attention to Sinclair and is hopeful of signing the 23-year-old for a fee in the region of £5m, according to The Mirror.

Sinclair's current £20,000-per-week contract expires in June 2013.
