Man City set to beat Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern to 14-year-old USA wonderkid Cavan Sullivan from Philadelphia Union

According to journalist Philipp Kessler, the reigning European and English champions are all set to beat clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain to the signature of 14-year-old US wonderkid Cavan Sullivan from Philadelphia Union.

The journalist further reports that the attacking midfielder's agent Wasserman has already informed the other clubs that the transfer race is over and that Sullivan will be heading to Manchester City. Born in September 2009, the player will not be able to move to England until he turns 16. For now, the City Football Group are likely to send him temporarily to Belgian club Lommel SK.

Sullivan is half-German from his mother's side and hails from a family with a sporting background. His father Brendan played in the A-League while his mother was the captain of her university soccer team. Cavan's elder brother Quinn represents the US U20 side and also plays for The Union.

After registering a dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Newcastle United last week, the Cityzens will now enjoy a much-deserved winter break. They will be back in action on January 26 when they take Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup fourth round.
