Man City discussing swap options for Tottenham winger Lennon

Manchester City are chasing Tottenham Aaron Lennon.

The Daily Star Sunday says City want England winger Lennon to replace Shaun Wright-Phillips.

City are prepared to allow striker Emmanuel Adebayor to go to Tottenham on loan in exchange for Lennon, 24.
