As reported by GIVEMESPORT, Manchester City are leading the race to sign Southampton Starkid Harrison Miles ahead of next season. The player’s contract with the latter club has ended and both parties are now separating.
The impressive profile of Harrison Miles
Harrison Miles is one of the young prospects to come out from Southampton FC academy in recent years. He is rated highly at the youth level and is expected to have a bright future. Despite being just 15, he mainly plays with players of above his age in the U18 side.
Miles surprisingly also featured for Southampton’s U21 side last season. He has also represented England’s national side at the youth level. Such has been the profile of the wonder kid, who netted two goals in 11 games this term.
The Englishman plays as a central midfielder with great abilities on the ball. He is an intelligent reader of the game and focuses on positioning. He can turn into an elite midfielder in the future should he continue to develop his game.
A long-term contract from Manchester City
Manchester City have the tendency to acquire emerging talents and nourish them into finished products. It not only helps them get first-team players but also raises money by selling them. Their ability to book profits by offloading players allows them to spend large on getting some major stars.
The case of Harrison Miles is no different as the player is extremely talented. The Citizens will look to take care of his progress and try to turn him into a world-class player. If they manage to fit him in the senior side then they will do it or else make profits.
Not only Manchester City but even Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in signing England’s U16 captain. However, the player has reportedly agreed terms with the Premier League champions and is expected to join them in the summer.
