A host of clubs, now joined by Manchester United, are ready to battle it out for 16-year-old Welsh sensation Cruz Allen.
Manchester United are among the teams in the hunt for 16-year-old Welsh sensation Cruz Allen, as per The Sun. The report also names Chelsea and Newcastle United as possible suitors for the Derby County Under-18 star, as he looks like a promising talent for the future.
Premier League clubs are already gearing up for the January transfer window, as respective managers will want solutions to strengthen their squads. Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Chelsea are all expected to have a busy period around the winter market. But their sole focus is not on the first team but also their youth squad.
As Manchester United continue to suffer blow after blow with injuries, Mason Mount becomes the latest to join the treatment room. There are links to Antoine Griezmann, but the Frenchman does not fancy a January move to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils will scour the market for potential midfield options, but who they might sign remains a big question. Meanwhile, they are also focused on improving their youth squads, with some potential signings already in the pipeline. For instance, they are vying for teenage Irish defender Sam Curtis.
Now they are in the hunt for Derby’s Cruz Allen, the 16-year-old Welsh sensation who has impressed in the Under-18 team of the lower league club. Manchester United will likely sound out a move for the youngster. But Derby could have a say, considering he has a contract until 2025.
Another issue for Manchester United is the interest from Newcastle United and Chelsea. Both those clubs have shown a knack for signing youngsters rising through the ranks. The Blues, in particular, are looking at teenage stars to add to their youth squads for the future.
Newcastle United have also shown a knack for finding some promising young talents. But so far, they have focused on bringing stars like Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall for their first team. Hence, if they enter the chase for Allen, it will showcase their eye for improving the youth squads.
Overall, Allen appears to have plenty of suitors ahead of January, with Manchester United likely to force the issue if they are serious. Chelsea and Newcastle United will keep monitoring the situation of the 16-year-old Welsh sensation, as Derby will fight on their hands to retain the teenager.
