City winger Adam Johnson is close to agreeing a new deal to tie him to the club until 2015, it was reported today.
Johnson, who moved to City from Middlesbrough in January 2010, has put pen to paper on the extension despite having more than three years to run on his current deal.
The 24-year-old has made more than 50 appearances since his move to the Etihad Stadium as well as breaking into Fabio Capello's England squad.
