Manchester City Starlet Patrick Roberts Has A New Club

Touted as one of the biggest prospects in English football, 18-year-old Patrick Roberts signed for Manchester City in the summer of 2015 for a fee of £12 million from Championship side Fulham. A big move for a big talent.

With a hefty price tag comes expectation and Roberts was thrown into the deep end as he made his debut coming on a substitute for Jesus Navas against none other than Real Madrid.

Despite this, he only made one competitive appearance for Manchester City. Cue a loan deal from Celtic.

The Scottish club have agreed an 18-month loan deal with Manchester City for teenage star Roberts and the midfielder is set to watch Sunday's League Cup semi-final clash with Ross County.

Roberts follows Jason Denayer and John Guidetti in becoming the latest City prospect to move to Parkhead

With Kevin de Bruyne injured, could this be a mistake from Manuel Pellegrini's side?
