Manchester City have reportedly agreed a deal to sign 15-year-old Timeo Whisker from Cardiff's academy.

Whisker, who was born in France but has come through Cardiff's academy, is the latest young talent to be the subject of interest from top clubs, after the likes of Charlie Crew (Leeds United), Gabriele Biancheri (Manchester United) and Lewys Benjamin (Wolves) were all snapped up by category one academies in recent years.

Whisker can play either up top or on the left wing and the Premier League champions have been keen to sign him on schoolboy forms. Reports surfaced last month with regards to a £250,000 bid, however nothing had been accepted by Cardiff at that point. We were later told the bid which was tabled was in excess of the one which has been reported.
