Manchester City are plotting a £12million January swoop for Germany defender Philipp Lahm.
Boss Mark Hughes watched the left back in action for Bayern Munich last month, as part of a trip to watch his dream target Franck Ribery.
Now Hughes has been alerted to the fact Lahm, 26, could be available in the transfer window, he is considering a raid next month.
Lahm is still rated as one of the best defenders in the game.
