Brannigan hasn't yet made his senior debut for Linfield but is capped by Northern Ireland at U16 level. He is expected to leave Linfield in the imminent future with Nixon claiming that the midfielder is on trial at Man City.

Nixon wrote: "Manchester City are trying to win the race for Northern Ireland midfield prospect Cole Brannigan.

"City have had the Linfield teenager in on trial as they close on a deal ahead of three major Premier League rivals. Chelsea have been trying for Brannigan who has also got Leeds and Liverpool on his tail."

Forshaw arrived at Elland Road from Middlesbrough in 2018 under Danish manager Thomas Christiansen and has made three substitute appearances so far this season, including 29 minutes in the 3-0 win against Chelsea.
