Son of a gun Man City starlet Devante Cole: Dad lets me get on with it

Manchester City striker Devante Cole says his famous Dad doesn't interfere with his progress.

Devante is the son of former City and Manchester United striker Andy Cole.

"He lets me get on with it, obviously he's there to give me advice if I want it but he's really keen to just let me do my own thing," Devante told City's website.

The teen is an England youth international and adds: "Playing for your country is what you aim for as a footballer so it's been great to pull on the national team shirt and it's something I'm really proud of.

"My target for the next year is to break into the under-21s and become one of the main strikers in that team."
