Manchester City and Newcastle United are battling for Leeds United prospect Finley Gorman.
Just 15, Gorman is a regular with Leeds' U18 team and is an England international.
Leeds are becoming resigned to losing the teen, with City rated as favourites to secure his signature.
Yorkshire Post says City are now in talks to close a deal.
Gorman primarily operates on the right-side of midfield and is on schoolboy forms at Leeds.
