Mancini confirms interest in Donovon

Manchester City boss has said the signing of Landon Donovon from LA Galaxy is a possibility.

Donavon who impressed for the USA in the World Cup has caught the eye of the Eastland’s boss after a good loan spell at Everton. The former Bayern Leverkusen player is contracted for LA Galaxy who will be un-willing to sell but with Manchester City's spending power LA Galaxy may be forced to part company with their US starlet.

Manchester City who are currently touring America as part of their pre-season have two games scheduled with the New York Redbulls and Club America could use the possible signing as a way to break the US market; something Manchester United and Chelsea have done well in recent years. The arrival of Landon Donavon would give the same merchandise opportunity as their Manchester rivals who have with Park Ji Sung who is the now biggest player in Asia.

One problem Manchester City may face is will Donavon be willing to move to a team that already have the attacking options of Adam Johnson, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Carlos Tevez, Craig Bellamy and new signing David Silva.
