Manchester City are expected to deal in Aussie midfielder Luke Brattan.

Brattan is currently a free agent after leaving Brisbane Roar and is now in talks with City.

The Sun says City intend to deal in the 25 year-old.

Brattan has been training with City this month, primarily with the U21 squad.

The midfielder would be sent out on-loan to a Football League club to kickoff his European career.
