MCATEE ON LIVERPOOL RADAR – REPORT

Manchester City are one of the biggest teams in the Premier League and on the European football stage and they have a lot of young players on their books from Liam Delap to Sam Edozieto Cole Palmer. However, James McAtee is widely regarded as the biggest of all the youngtalents at Manchester City and he has been labelled the new David Silva.

Pep Guardiola is the Manchester City manager and he has already given opportunities to some of the young players at the club. Young winger Edozie featured from the start for Manchester City during the Community Shield clash with Leicester City. Ex-Manchester City star Iheanacho scored the only goal of the game on the way to a 1-0 win for the Foxes.

Cole Palmer recently scored as a substitute in the Champions League win over Belgian champions Club Brugge, whileLiam Delap is the son of ex-Stoke City star Rory Delap and he has 36 goal contributions in 28 u23 games forManchester City at the age of 18.

McAtee is a Liverpool target as revealed by the report from the stables of English publication, the Daily Mail. He has scored a lot of goals for the Manchester City youth teams this season. McAtee has drawn similarities with David Silva at Manchester City.

David Silva is a Manchester City legend and the Spaniard spent a decade at the Etihad Stadium before he left the club to join Spanish La Liga club Real Sociedad last summer.

McAtee, 19, has scored 15 goals plus three assists for the Manchester City youth teams this season. He scored three goals for Manchester City during the UEFA Youth League (UYL) clash with Belgian side Club Brugge last month.

Liverpool target McAtee has 18 months left on his current deal at Manchester City and a big decision could be made on his future next summer amidst the interest from the Reds. McAtee is unlikely to stay at the Etihad Stadium unless he has guarantees over more playing time. He has been restricted to just 18 minutes this season from the Carabao Cup clash with League One side Wycombe Wanderers this season.
