According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City are interested in Zion Atta and may have to battle Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg for his signature.

The 15-year-old is highly-rated and has impressed at youth level for Crystal Palace and England, so he looks to have a bright future. Whether that will be at Selhurst Park remains to be seen, however, as he’s got a lot of clubs monitoring his progress.

As per London News Online, Atta left Millwall after five years and joined Palace for £60k in January 2019. He had trials with Manchester United, Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion before signing a scholarship for the Eagles and hasn’t looked back.

In July, 90min revealed that Atta wanted to stay in South London and turned down approaches from top clubs in Europe. His family believe he should continue developing at Palace too, so we might struggle to lure him away.

With Pep Guardiola giving a total of 12 appearances and 804 minutes of playing time to Liam Delap (aged 17), Taylor Harwood-Bellis (18), Cole Palmer (18), Tommy Doyle (19), Eric Garcia (19) and Adrian Bernabe (19) this season, Atta would be in good hands at City.
