Leeds United’s young talent, Finlay Gorman, appears poised to embark on a groundbreaking journey to Manchester City, with reports indicating that a British record contract for a 15-year-old is in the works. The Premier League champions and the Championship club have reportedly reached an agreement on a seven-figure sum, setting a new benchmark for a player of his age, as reported by The Athletic.
Although the finalization of the contract is pending, widespread anticipation surrounds Gorman’s imminent move to the Etihad. Despite the negotiations, Leeds remains optimistic, harboring hopes for a potential shift in the situation. The 15-year-old, who made his debut for the England Under-16s earlier this season at just fourteen, holds the distinction of being the youngest player to score twice in a Premier League Under-18 match at the age of 14 years and 326 days. While the report suggests a close association between Gorman and the Premier League champions, Leeds aspires for him to tread a similar path at the club as Archie Gray.
