Manchester City are eyeing Birmingham City superkid Nathan Redmond.

The Mirror says City are considering a January bid for Redmond.

The winger, now 17, became Blues' second-youngest debutant ever, behind Trevor Francis, when he appeared at age 16 years and 173 days in August 2010.

Redmond has gone on to establish himself at St Andrew's this term with some superb displays in the Championship and Europa League.

His pace and skills have seen him compared to Manchester United and England wide-man Ashley Young.

City may offer Birmingham up to £6million as they try to tempt the teenager to Eastlands.
