Could Niko Iličević play alongside Rayan Cherki in the longer run at Man City? In modern football, the scramble to snap up the next generational talents so often begin before they even leave school, with more and more players making an impact for big clubs well before they reach adulthood.

The newest name reportedly placed onto Manchester City ’s transfer radar will not even turn 16-years-old until the end of October, with club scouts placing one eye on the German market.

The player in question has lit up Eintracht Frankfurt’s youth teams in recent years, and his ascent has not gone unnoticed in Manchester, and among several of the continent’s other big names.
