Manchester City 'weigh up move for Spanish teenager'

Manchester City are reportedly keeping a close eye on Sevilla defender Pablo Perez.

The 19-year-old joined Los Nervionenses from local side Nervion last summer and has impressed for the La Liga club's Under-19 side during the 2019-20 campaign.

Perez is yet to represent Julen Lopetegui's side but has allegedly trained with the first team on a number of occasions this season, having caught the attention with his displays at youth level.

According to Marca, Sevilla are working to tie the left-back to a new long-term contract, with the Spanish side's director of football Monchi overseeing the talks.

However, the report claims that City have been impressed by Perez's fast development and could attempt to bring him to England at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

Ajax and RB Leipzig are also thought to be weighing up moves for the Spain Under-19 international.
