West Ham are 'closing in on a £14m deal for Manchester City winger Carlos Borges'... with the Portuguese youngster set to become their first summer signing

West Ham are closing in on the signing of Manchester City youngster Carlos Borges, according to a report.

The 19-year-old winger was prolific for City's Under 21s, who won Premier League 2 last season, with 21 goals in 24 appearances last season.

Premier League rivals West Ham have agreed a fee of £14million for Borges, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

City, as they have done in the past with Southampton's Romeo Lavia and other young players, will include a buy back clause in the deal.

Borges has been part of City's youth set-up since 2015 and been capped by several of Portugal's youth teams.
