Liverpool have joined Manchester United in the chase to land a 16-year-old Aston Villa starlet, while Man City have been handed a boost in their bid to sign a Bayern star – all in the latest Paper Talk.
MAN UTD FACE RIVALS TO LAND VILLA SENSATION
Manchester United are reportedly chasing Aston Villa’s 16-year-old wonderkid Carney Chukwuemeka, but now face a battle with Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester City for his signature.
Villa are said to be hopeful that they can still convince the teenager that he should stay at Villa Park, as he will have more of an opportunity for first-team football with them.
However, the Daily Star reports that United, Liverpool and City are already to swoop for the player.
Chukwuemeka is still at school and technically part-time so it is hard to predict what sort of compensation would have to be paid, but history shows that it would likely go to a tribunal – with a lot of incentives for first team and international appearances.
The England Under-17 star has been described by Villa CEO Christian Purslow as “probably the best 16-year old in England right now”.
The Sun claims that Villa have held contract discussions with the youngster although it is not clear how far along those talks are.
It is thought initial conversations over his future were held before their Bodymoor Heath training complex was shut due to the coronavirus pandemic last month.
Should several top Premier League clubs do battle over Chukwuemeka, it is claimed that United could possibly have the edge over their rivals due to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s plans to snap up the country’s top young talent.
