Man City Ready To Sell Talented Star To Premier League rival

Manchester City are ready to lose an attacking prospect from their academy to Premier League rivals West Ham United, according to a fresh report.

The newest development in Manchester City’s outgoings and Academy system comes as the club continues their drive to recruit the next big players from the game’s younger levels worldwide.

In the recent January transfer window, Manchester City completed a deal for Philadelphia Union offensive midfield wonderkid Cavan Sullivan, with the 14-year-old signing a contract that would see him relocate to the Etihad Stadium when he turns 18.

There has also been conversation from within Spanish media that the Premier League champions are rivalling Real Madrid for the signature of 16-year-old River Plate midfielder Franco Mastantuono.

However, the latest details to emerge concerning Manchester City and their youth talents will see an exit from the City Football Academy, with the London Stadium being the destination for one teenage prospect.

That is according to new information from The Secret Scout, who reveal that West Ham United set to sign Manchester City forward David Chigwada, just two-years on from his move to the City Football Academy from Blackburn Rovers.

The report describes the 16-year-old as a ‘quick attacker’, who played centrally at Blackburn but was used more as a winger during his time with City, and will go on to fulfil a position eyed for recruitment in West Ham’s under-18s squad.

Chigwada went viral earlier this year for a skill move termed ‘The Chigwada Spin’, as he starred for Manchester City’s under-17 squad at the Future Cup, an annual youth tournament organised by Dutch giants Ajax.
