A fan of gems like the Argentinian Claudio Echeverri (18 years old) purchased at the last U17 World Cup, Manchester City is eyeing the United States. Only 14 years old, Cavan Sullivan pleases Mancunians as reported NBC. Starting with team 2 of Philadelphia Union in MLS Next Pro, the young and versatile attacking midfielder is already discovering the professional level.

If Philadelphia intends to keep him until he comes of age, Manchester City would finally be on the verge of signing him. The English club will not be able to repatriate him before he reaches the age of majority but could loan him to Belgium to Lommel when he turns sixteen or look at the New York City franchise which is also in the City Football Group.
