Manchester City are eyeing Hearts teen Aaron Hickey.

The Scottish Sun says City are tracking Hearts starlet Hickey with a view to a £1.5million January swoop.

The full-back, 17, came to the attention of Pep Guardiola, in May's Scottish Cup Final defeat to Celtic.

Hickey was just 16 at the time and had made his first-team debut for the Jambos only a few weeks earlier.

The former Hoops kid impressed up against Scotland star James Forrest after his appearance made him the youngest player to start a final in the modern era.

Hickey has continued to establish himself this season.
