Celtic midfield prospect Josh Adam is close to signing for Manchester City.

The 16-year-old is viewed as one of the best youngsters in Scotland and the Etihad Stadium club, among other Premier League's leading teams, including Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea, are keen.

But City will win they race for Adam, who will initially join the club's academy, says the Daily Mail.

He has had an option to sign pro terms with Celtic since turning 16 in February, but terms have not been agreed.

Adam is a Scotland youth international, having played three times for the Under-16 side and has seven caps at all levels, scoring once.
