"Many Photos" - Man City close in on Sunderland whizkid Morten Spencer aged just 14

MANCHESTER CITY are set to sign Sunderland whizkid Morten Spencer — at the age of just 14.

City will have to pay compensation for the England youth cap, who plays left wing and attacking midfield.

Versatle England Morten Spencer is the latest Sunderland kid to be targeted by a Premier League club – in this case, Manchester City

He is one of many top talents at Sunderland’s academy who have been snapped up by bigger clubs recently.

The fee is likely to be around £200,000 for the starlet, with League One Black Cats also making sure they are entitled to a slice of any future profits.

Etihad boss Pep Guardiola’s scouts are under orders to find home-grown talent, as well as scouring the globe for the next generation of superstars.

City’s haul of expensive imports means they, along with Paris Saint-Germain, have been monitored by Uefa over Financial Fair Play.

Yet new figures show they have dropped to third in the list of Premier League wage-payers.

Manchester United still top the list, with an annual bill of £296million, but Liverpool are now second on £263m.

Citty’s £260m puts them a comfortable £16m clear of Chelsea, with Arsenal fifth on £223m.

But Mauricio Pochettino continues to defy the link between budget and Prem position.

Tottenham paid out “just” £160m for his squad’s wages, but Poch’s stylists are behind only Liverpool and City in the table.
