Manchester City have agreed on a deal to sign the highly talented Irish keeper Gavin Bazunu.

According to the Telegraph, Premier League giants Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool were also keen on the player. The likes of Celtic were keeping tabs on the 16-year-old as well.

The Premier League champions will pay a fee of around £420,000 to Shamrock Rovers for Bazunu. It will be a record transfer for a non-professional in Ireland.

The report claims that Spurs submitted a number of bids for the player but City’s offer proved to be the most attractive.
