Manchester City fans have expressed delight over reports that one of their players is now set to sign a new contract at the club.
Manchester City have had a busy summer on the transfer front, with plenty of outgoings as well as incomings.
And with less than two weeks left of the transfer window, the Citizens could yet let more players leave.
Rico Lewis is one of the players who has been linked with a move away from City, but it looks as though that will no longer be the case.

Rico Lewis set to sign new Manchester City contract
Nottingham Forest recently expressed their interest in Lewis, and the Man City star has now made a final decision on his future.
After the win over Wolves, Lewis said that he wants to stay at Man City, and those words have proven true.
Now, Lewis is set to sign a new five-year deal at City, according to the Daily Mail, and fans are pleased with this turn of events.
“With his performance last week I knew he ain’t going nowhere,” one fan wrote on X. “Get innn!”
Another supporter said: “Proper blue, shut down the transfer news immediately and signs a new deal.”
The praise kept coming, with one fan saying: “This will be the best thing to happen to Pep and Man City.
“It will give the young players confidence and belief in the Man City project that there is a space for them to thrive.”
Another said: “I’m not the hugest fan of Rico but the kid plays at 200% every minute he’s on the pitch. We need high energy players like this.”
Other fans deemed it “beautiful news”, “fantastic news”, “great news” and “magnificent”.

Who could leave Manchester City instead of Rico Lewis
Lewis may be set to stay, but with Guardiola preferring a smaller squad, City are set to offload other players over the coming weeks.
It has been reported that Galatasaray are still working on signing Manuel Akanji, though the player himself appeared surprised by Fabrizio Romano’s report.
Galatasaray are also interested in Ederson, with Graeme Bailey telling Manchester City News that the keeper is keen on the move.
Callum Doyle is also close to completing a switch to Wrexham for around £8million overall.
