It has been reported that Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign Leeds United teenager Finley Gorman, 15.
This comes from The Athletic, as it seems like Pep Guardiola’s men always have their sights set on bolstering their ranks at every single level at all times.
Manchester City have agreed record-breaking deal to sign 15-year-old Finley Gorman
Further details claim that Manchester City have agreed a deal to pay as high as a seven-figure fee to sign Finley Gorman, which is considered a British record for a player of his age.
While the move has not been officially completed, the report emphasises that it will get over the line inevitably.
Additionally, it has been claimed that Gorman will only be eligible to sign a professional contract when he turns 17 and currently, he is on schoolboy terms with Leeds.
On Monday, journalist Sam Lee also revealed that the youngster’s style of play is similar to the likes of Oscar Bobb and James McAtee.
The Norwegian has become a regular fixture in City’s first-team this season, with Pep Guardiola only recently claiming that he has admired him since day one.
If Finley Gorman indeed reminds Manchester City fans of Oscar Bobb, they will understandably be tipping him for a bright future.
How Manchester City recruit is second to none
One of the primary reasons why the Sky Blues are as successful as they have been in recent years is due to their incredible recruitment.
The treble-winners tend to keep an eye on untapped potential, as seen with their signings of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko in the past and Julian Alvarez more recently.
Once again, Manchester City seem to have found another potential superstar talent in Finley Gorman.
The fact that the club are as keen as they are to get a deal wrapped up for Gorman is a testament to their exceptional eye for talent and their relentless pursuit of perfection.
