A former Manchester City academy player, Egan-Riley is attracting major interest from Olympique Marseille, says Foot Mercato.

Marseille see Egan-Riley as a potential replacement for  Leonardo Balerdi.

Along with OM, the defender's progress has also brought him to the attention of West Ham and Chelsea's French partners, Strasbourg.
