Man City 'keep tabs on Britain's tallest footballer Kyle Hudlin', who stands at 6ft 9ins tall

Manchester City are reportedly eyeing up a move for football's next big thing – but it's not his ability with the ball that makes him stand out.

Step forward Solihull Moors striker Kyle Hudlin – Britain's tallest outfield footballer, who stands at a lofty 6ft 9ins. In comparison, former England striker and Sportsmail's Peter Crouch is slightly shorter that Hudlin, who is 6ft 7ins.

And according to The Athletic, City have surprisingly sent scouts to watch the striker in action on Saturday, when Moors took on Notts County in a pre-season friendly.
