Manchester City 'monitoring Argentine teenager'

Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Velez Sarsfield's Thiago Almada with a view to a potential move for the teenager.

Almada, who has made seven appearances for Argentina's Under-20 side, has scored three times and registered two assists in 19 first-team matches for El Fortin.

The 18-year-old has little under two years left to run on his current deal, however, and according to A Bola, City are monitoring his contract situation at the Jose Amalfitani Stadium.

Almada has already made three appearances for the Argentine club during the 2019-20 campaign.

The attacker had been representing Velez's Under-20 side before making the step into the first team in July 2018.

City currently have two Argentines in their first-team squad in the shape of Sergio Aguero and Nicolas Otamendi.
