Manchester City have raided Watford's academy for 14 year-old striker Jadon Sancho.

The Mail on Sunday says Sancho, an England Under 15 international, already has a sponsorship deal with Nike and is tipped to make a top flight career.

City will pay an initial £66,000 with the fee increasing on appearances and Watford have also secured a 10percent sell-on.

Liverpool had also shown an interest in the youngster.
