Manchester City 'scouting 17-year-old Ajax and Holland wonderkid Sontje Hansen' who won Golden Boot at Under-17 World Cup and could be available for bargain £6m

Manchester City 'are keeping tabs on £6million-rated Ajax wonderkid Sontje Hansen' who impressed for Holland at last year's Under-17 World Cup in Brazil.

The 17-year-old forward scored six times at the tournament to claim the Golden Boot, including a last-16 hat-trick against Nigeria, and has also played twice for Ajax's first team.

According to The Guardian, City have been scouting the teenager and with his Ajax contract set to expire in the summer of 2021, believe they can sign him for around £6m.
