Weiss set for Espanyol move

Espanyol are closing in on the signing of Manchester City winger Vladimir Weiss, according to reports in Spain.

The 21-year-old has attracted a lot of interest from several Spanish sides and Wigan after his first-team chances at City appear limited.

The Slovak midfielder had earlier confirmed he would not be moving to Dynamo Kiev, despite apparent interest from the Ukraine outfit.

Catalan newspaper Sport said that Weiss, who has enjoyed loan spells at Rangers and Bolton since joining City in 2006, is expected to have a medical in Spain on Monday.

The Spaniards have also been linked to several other Premier League stars including Tottenham duo Giovani dos Santos and Roman Pavlyuchenko as well as Liverpool's Christian Poulsen.
