The six-foot teen was also monitored by scouts from Manchester United on a number of occasions last season.
Earlier this year, his coach at Nortel, Jonty Watson, told the Times: ““I think this young lad is rather exceptional.”

“He commands his area well and communicates with his defenders very well for a lad so young.”
