AdminManchester City have reached an agreement to sign one of Leicester City’s brightest young talents after concluding a deal worth a reported £10 million package.
The Premier League champions have finalised terms with both Leicester City and the player’s representatives following lengthy negotiations, ending weeks of speculation over the youngster’s future.
Arsenal had also been heavily involved in the race and held extensive talks in an attempt to secure his signature, but the Gunners were ultimately unable to reach a breakthrough.
City’s successful move represents another statement of intent as they continue to recruit some of the country’s most highly-rated prospects for the future.
The teenager is regarded as one of the standout talents to emerge from Leicester’s academy, making his departure a disappointing blow for the Foxes.
A key figure in convincing the youngster to choose Manchester City was Enzo Maresca, who played an active role in discussions by outlining the club’s long-term vision and development pathway.
His involvement proved significant as City moved ahead of their rivals to complete the transfer.
The deal is now fully agreed, with the transfer expected to be completed in due course.
