Manchester City 'join Arsenal in race for Dwight McNeil'

Manchester City have reportedly joined Arsenal in the race to sign Burnley teenager Dwight McNeil in this summer's transfer window.

The 19-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Turf Moor, scoring three times and contributing five assists in 17 Premier League appearances for Sean Dyche's side.

According to the Daily Star, City have been impressed with the youngster's performances this year and are closely monitoring his progress alongside Arsenal.

McNeil, who only recently signed a new long-term deal with Burnley, spent time in Manchester United's youth system before joining the Clarets in 2014.

A two-time England Under-20 international, the attacker scored his first Premier League goal against West Ham United in the latter stages of 2018.
