Manchester City are in negotiations to sign Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor, BBC Sport understands.
The Togo international, 25, is believed to be on sale for about £25m after three-and-a-half seasons at Arsenal.
Adebayor, who scored 16 times for the Gunners last season, has also been linked to AC Milan and Chelsea.
City are intent on building a new-look attack and have added Argentine Carlos Tevez and Paraguayan Roque Santa Cruz to their ranks this summer.
The Eastlands club are eager to break into the Premier League's top four this coming season and have shown their determination with their close-season spending.
Midfielder Gareth Barry was bought from Aston Villa, and from under the noses of last season's Premier League runners-up Liverpool, for £12m and City paid Blackburn about £18m for Paraguay international forward Santa Cruz.
