West Ham battling to keep 9-year-old Omari Forson away from Man City

West Ham United are battling to keep hold of junior talent Omari Forson - aged NINE!

The Daily Mail says Manchester City have made the nine-year-old child prodigy a summer transfer priority.

Massive things are expected of the youngster, who has been at the Upton Park club since the age of five.

Forson has played a starring role for the Hammers' Under 10s and 11s this season - and his performances have caught the attention of City scouts.

The Hammers are desperate to keep hold of the quick left-footed forward, who has been likened to Paris St Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but fear City's growing status as a European superpower could be too much to resist.
