Manchester City will reportedly consider a bid for Montpellier HSC midfielder Younes Belhanda if their pursuit of Eden Hazard is unsuccessful.

Manchester City may switch their attention to Montpellier HSC midfielder Younes Belhanda after becoming frustrated in their pursuit of Eden Hazard.

The Citizens are one of a number of teams that are chasing Hazard and it has been reported that they were leading the race for his signature.

However, with Lille valuing the player at £30m and the player's agent likely to demand that his client match the club's highest earners, City may be put off the move.

Roberto Mancini has been impressed by 22-year-old Belhanda and club officials could lodge a £7m bid for his services, according to The Independent.

Belhanda is a Moroccan international and scored the winning goal in his country's 1-0 win over Niger in this year's African Cup of Nations.
