PSG Wonderkid Will Join Manchester City In The Summer

Manchester City have secured the signing of PSG wonderkid Claudio Gomes, according to reports.

The 17-year old is viewed as one of the most exciting prospects within then PSG academy set-up but it looks as though they have been dealt a major blow, with Gomes agreeing to move to City in the summer.

Despite training with the first-team for a while, Gomes is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Parisians.

He has, however, played 326 minutes in the UEFA Youth League and captained the PSG youth side on occasion.

City have been tracking the midfielder for a while now, and according to RMC, Pep Guardiola recently made a phone call to him to sell the project at City and is hopeful he will play in the Premier League down the line.

The Blues are also reportedly on the hunt for former PSG academy player Boubakary Soumare, who plays for Lille and has made three Ligue One appearances this season.
