Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have signed the teenage ace, according to a report.
The Scottish Sun reported on Saturday that Rangers had signed Kane Ritchie-Hosler.
The publication claimed that the 16-year-old talent would join this summer after impressing in Manchester City’s Under-16 side this season.
If true, he will join a very talented Rangers academy, with the Gers’ Under-17s winning the Qatar-based Alkass Cup in midweek.
And it looks like the link between the Scottish giants are Ritchie-Hosler is very genuine after the teenager ‘liked’ a celebratory tweet referencing the Blues’ title win.
Rangers also snapped up Nathan Young-Coombes – who only recently turned 16 – from Chelsea last month, with the youngster inspiring the Scots to their trophy in Qatar over the past week.
They won the competition via a penalty shootout with Roma, as Kai Kennedy picked up Player of the Tournament.
It’ll be a while before any of these starlets – including Ritchie-Hosler – are ready for Steven Gerrard’s senior side.
But Gerrard has proved this season that he isn’t afraid of using young talent, with Glenn Middleton coming to the fore under him in Glasgow, so although it seems a long way off, it isn’t if they’re good enough.
