Manchester City are reportedly 'lining up a move' for Irish teenager Sam Curtis, who has been on trial at a handful of top European sides.
According to Football Insider, City are 'racing' to get a deal in place for Curtis, who has the ability to play at right-back or centre-back. The 16-year-old has had trials with Roma, Bayer Leverkusen and Feyenoord, and now Pep Guardiola's side are looking at the possibility of tempting him to the Etihad Stadium.
English clubs are not allowed to formally sign Curtis until he turns 18, but City will want to have a deal in place and ready to go to avoid being pipped to the post by their rivals. The St Patrick’s Athletic defender has become a sought-after talent in Europe after a series of impressive performances in the League of Ireland.
