Manchester City are set to beat Borussia Dortmund to sign Ukrainian starlet Oleksandr Zinchenko, according to reports in Russia.
The 19-year-old winger is understood to prefer a switch to City over the Bundesliga club because he feels it would be easier to learn English over German.
Dortmund were last week reported to be leading the race to sign the left-footed star - likened to City's Kevin de Bruyne - from Russian outfit Ufa, where he has been excellent this season.
But City have stolen a march, accorduing to Russian website Championnat, with Zinchenko keen to leave Russian football in the next transfer window.
The teenager was expected to be called up by Ukraine for their internationals in March but was omitted amid claims that he missed out because he plays for a Russian club and the political tension between the two countries.
