However, Tottenham could be about to miss out on the youngster, with Pep Guardiola’s City reported to have made their move for the 19-year-old.

Good signing?

It remains to be seen what the youngster does, but it is quite smart of City to offer him a contract.

If City are able to secure the services of Leao on a free transfer, then it will be quite a coup for them.
