​Man City enter race for Monaco teenager Mbappe

Manchester City are working hard to sign teenage French prodigy Kylian Mbappe this summer, according to Spanish football expert Graham Hunter.

"City are talking actively to Mbappe's representatives, saying they are best placed to develop his career, where he could work with Pep Guardiola and be paid handsomely," Hunter told Sky Sports News HQ.

"Real Madrid, meanwhile, are wooing Mbappe's agents saying they will break the transfer record for this kid. Zidane, of course, has known Mbappe since he was 14.

"The battle is with Manchester City and they are persuasive and Mbappe is now thinking long and hard between London, Madrid, Paris and now Manchester. City are in that battle.

"At the moment it's hard to see him choosing Monaco over one of those, but none of clubs know who is favourite to sign this exceptional 18-year-old."
