City ready to sign a gem from Le Havre

An under 17s player by the name of Ilyes Benlebsir has caught Manchester City's attention enough to make them want to put an offer of 700,000 euros on the table for him. 'RMC Sport' and 'L'Equipe' both report the English club's interest in the young gem from Le Havre, who has also caught the eye of a team from the Spanish league, but their name remains unknown.

He has shone in his current squad, albeit it not being the best group of players in France as they do not play in the country's top league (Ligue 1). If he leaves for England, he will have the opportunity to develop himself under the watchful and meticulous eye of Pep Guardiola.

However, this is still a hypothesis. At this moment in time, the youngster is enjoying a season in which he is a fundamental member of his squad. He has been seen scoring fantastic goals and being a part of pretty offensive moves, getting past markers on the wings and in the final third of the pitch.

A quick search on the social media accounts of Le Havre result in a number of the player's highlights. In the following video, the highlights of an under 17s match, you can watch his fantastic volley from 04:13mins, after he brings the ball down expertly and fires it past the keeper.
