Manchester City have taken the lead in the race to sign Mathys Detourbet (18) from Troyes, according to a report from L’Équipe. Several clubs have shown an interest in signing the French forward after an impressive start to life in the French second division.
The 18-year-old has made 33 appearances for his formative club, scoring 1 goal and registering 3 assists across all competitions. His eye-catching profile and impressive skill at such a young age have seen the list of clubs interested in his services grow long. Roma are the only club to have submitted a formal offer for the Frenchman in the region of €10m. However, Monaco and several German clubs would also like to sign Detourbet.
