Barcelona track Ashley Smith-Brown

Barcelona are reportedly preparing a summer move for Manchester City defender Ashley Smith-Brown.

The 16-year-old impressed Catalan scouts during a recent England Under-16s game against Spain, according to the Daily Mail, and now the Spanish club are keen to invite him for a trial.

Chelsea and Arsenal are also understood to be interested, but City are keen to keep hold of their versatile youngster.

Smith-Brown can also play in midfield.
