West Ham are close to winning the race to sign Carlos Borges from Manchester City. They have offered £14m for the 19-year-old winger, who has also been targeted by Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt, and the deal could be completed soon.

Borges joined City from Sporting in 2014 and has impressed at youth level. He has represented Portugal Under-19s and is noted for his pace and trickery. City will include a buyback clause and moving to West Ham could give Borges a better chance of playing regularly in the Premier League.
