Leicester City centre-back Ben Nelson is interesting Manchester City.

A tall and physical defender, Nelson, who has been capped previously by Scotland at international youth level, is due to travel with England U18s this week as they take on Wales, Austria and Croatia in Zagreb.

City, like many of the Premier League's elite clubs, are looking to bolster their ranks with top homegrown talent in the wake of Brexit and new recruitment guidelines.

Their scouts have noted Nelson's progress and are continuing to check his development as they consider a potential move, says the Daily Mail.

Nelson played in pre-season games last summer and has been a regular in the club's U23s on the back of being the academy player of the year in 20/21.
