Manchester City face losing England youth international Bobby Duncan.
Duncan became the first England player at any level to hit a hat-trick against Brazil, with the fact that he is Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard's cousin making it even more newsworthy.
The Huyton-born striker, who has been at the club for six years, made his Under-18s debut aged 15 last year and was expected to push on this season but saw his City career come to an abrupt halt in August.
Despite training with the Under-18 and Under-23 squads in pre-season, failure to reach agreement on a deal saw Duncan taken out of the set-up, says the Manchester Evening News.
Arsenal, Tottenham, and Southampton have all been linked with Duncan and the talented teenager is not finding any resistance from his current employers as he considers his next move.
