Two Premier League transfers before the age of 19 is no mean feat and it looks likely to be Darko Gyabi’s fate with a Leeds United switch expected to go through. The 18-year-old began his short career with Millwall, but proved so impressive Manchester City did not wait around.
The south-London native went into The Den’s youth system, but it was not long before he was turning heads. At 14, he could not say no to the Premier League giants at Etihad Stadium.
In November 2018, when the move was going through, then Millwall boss Neil Harris spoke about a 14-year-old Gyabi. Reports at the time suggested the Lions could net more than £1m for the teenager after compensation plus club and international add-ons.
