The West Bromwich Albion midfielder is set to become the latest top talent snared by Manchester City.
The teenage West Bromwich Albion midfielder, Morgan Rogers, is expected to join Manchester City, according to the Sun.
The newspaper reports Rogers is set to undergo a medical at Manchester City after the two sides agreed an £8 million fee, which it claims would be the largest paid by a Premier League club for a 16-year-old player since Theo Walcott’s 2016 move from Southampton to Arsenal.
And it adds that West Brom sources say that he is expected to join the English champions once formalities are completed.
Rogers’ sale should help the new Albion boss, Slaven Bilic, to kickstart his summer rebuild.
Only the Benfica midfielder, Filip Krovinovic, has arrived at the Hawthorns this window.
West Brom have already seen two of last season’s key men, Dwight Gayle and Craig Dawson, depart, while Jay Rodriguez is expected to join Burnley.
Manchester City have poached a number of top talent from rival English clubs in recent years, with the England and Borussia Dortmund winger, Jadon Sancho, arguably the most notable.
