Man United, Chelsea, Man City 'want teenager Emre Tezgel'

Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are all reportedly interested in signing Stoke City teenager Emre Tezgel.

The 16-year-old featured on a regular basis for his side's Under-18s last season and is also believed to have taken part in training sessions with the Under-23s over the summer.

According to the Daily Mail, Stoke are facing a fight to keep hold of the forward, who has managed seven goals in four appearances at Under-18 level this term, including a treble against Liverpool.

The report claims that Man United, Chelsea and Man City are all 'admirers' of the youngster, branded a "Harry Kane-type centre-forward" by Stoke's academy boss Gareth Owen.

Tezgel - part of the England Under-17s squad - scored twice against Man United Under-18s during a clash last month.

In total, the striker has netted 14 times in 27 appearances for Stoke Under-18s in the Under-18 Premier League.
