Manchester City are to battle Chelsea to sign Dinamo Zagreb starlet Antonio Marin.

The 18-year-old has been heralded as one of Croatia's most exciting prospects, with the winger already featuring in four league games for the senior side this season.

His performances have caught the eye of a number of clubs as they look to land the teenager.

Sky Sports says City are keeping tabs on the player as they weigh up a move for Marin.

But they face competition from Premier League rivals Chelsea, as well as La Liga outfit Villarreal, who are also monitoring his situation.
