Manchester City have joined the battle for Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali.

Gazetta dello Sport says City are interested in the 18-year-old midfielder, but will face stiff competition as Juventus, Inter Milan, Roma and Chelsea are also reportedly watching him.

The midfielder shone in front of scouts, scoring in the weekend's victory over Verona.

Tonali was recently called up to Roberto Mancini's Italy squad despite playing in Serie B, but his fine assist and pinpoint free kick infront of the watching City scouts show why he is so highly rated.

The youngster has come through the ranks at Brescia and already has 30 first team appearances under his belt. He has three goals and six assists to his name.
