Premier League trio keen on Man City attacker James McAtee

Premier League clubs are interested in Manchester City attacker James McAtee.

McAtee's strike in the 1-0 win over Chelsea sent City to the top of Premier League 2 and took his goals tally for the season to 14, ahead of Arsenal's Folarin Balogun, now on loan at Middlesbrough and Dilan Markanday who left Tottenham for Blackburn last week.

More importantly, McAtee's performance in the number ten role caught the eye of watching scouts once again.

Brighton, Leicester City and Aston Villa are all keen on the creative 19-year-old who has yet to agree a new contract at City.

He has just 18 months left on his current deal and Championship sides Bournemouth, QPR, Blackburn and Swansea City are among those who would like to take him on loan.
