MANCHESTER City are targeting Irish international James McCarthy as their next summer signing, it has been reported.
The speculation about the Everton man’s potential move to the Etihad mounts just days after the club agreed a £49m deal for Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling.
McCarthy is believed to be Manuel Pellegrini’s new focus, after City missed out on England midfielder Fabien Delph, who has chosen to stay on at Aston Villa.
Whether or not City can lure McCarthy to the club will most likely depend on Everton's attempts to resist his departure.
