Manchester City attacker James McAtee is in new contract talks.

The highly-rated England U20 international midfielder, known as the 'Salford Silva' was the subject of considerable interest this month, particularly as he only has 18 months left on contract.

Rangers, Swansea City, Bournemouth, QPR, Huddersfield and Girona all made enquiries about loaning him and there was further interest from Spain, Holland and Belgium, says the Daily Mail.

Ultimately though, while serious consideration was given to a loan move, both McAtee and City decided it would be in his best football interests to stay with the club.

Talks over a new contract are ongoing and remain positive with City valuing the 19-year-old very highly.
