Manchester City, Celtic and Crystal Palace battle over QPR's Irish wonderkid Armstrong

Manchester City, Celtic and Crystal Palace are all moving to sign Sinclair Armstrong from Championship side Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer to bolster their academy ranks.

Armstrong is regarded as one of the top talents to come out of the Republic of Ireland, making his professional debut for Shamrock Rovers when he was still just 15 in 2018. He made six Irish first division appearances and also played in the domestic cup.

The Republic of Ireland Under-17 international only joined QPR in October but he only signed a deal until June 2021, which makes him eligible to sign a pre-contract with another club.
