Manchester City to raid Chelsea for Conor Hunte

Manchester City will reportedly attempt to prise Chelsea starlet Conor Hunte away from the club next summer.

The Blues youngster starred in England Under-16s' Victory Shield win this year and his eye-catching performances have seen him earmarked as a future star.

His displays have alerted City who, under the new Elite Player Performance Plan, could secure the player for a nominal fee.

Premier League clubs are now intensifying their search for young talent as they prepare to fall in line with the new Financial Fair Play rules.
