Manchester City are reportedly the frontrunners to beat Chelsea to highly-rated Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Mathis Albert. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder looks like becoming more of a key player in Dortmund’s first-team this season after first making his debut last term.
It seems clear that the Bundesliga giants have a special talent on their hands, with Man City now felt to be leading the race for his signature in a potential €20m deal, according to TEAMtalk.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also mentioned in the report as teams keeping an eye on Albert, so it will be interesting to see how much of a transfer battle we could have on our hands here.
