The French defender looks set to leave the Gunners this summer, with a number of clubs showing an interest.
Liverpool were understood to be leading the chase, but now City look set to land his signature after making their move last week.
It is now believed City are close to agreeing a ?7million deal for the 25-year-old, who has made over 250 appearances for Arsenal.
The France international is now due in the North-West ahead of a medical with City as a move to Eastlands looks increasingly likely.
