Journalist Graeme Bailey has reported that Alfie Osborne, a midfielder for Hearts, is being pursued by Manchester City. The Mancunian powerhouses are reportedly in competition with Arsenal, Leeds United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Sunderland, and Fulham to sign the Scottish youngster this summer.

Osborne has successfully established himself as a key player of Hearts’ B squad after rising through the junior ranks. The 17-year-old has already made 47 appearances for the B team of the Scottish club, contributing one assist and one goal in a variety of tournaments.

The adolescent Scottish player is presently one of his country’s top young midfielders. Man City would thus be wise to entice him to the Etihad Stadium during the forthcoming transfer window. Osborne is a good choice for the Manchester United giants to take into consideration later this year since he has the potential to become a future star in English football.

City are leading the race for this gifted midfielder

Osborne is racing through the park with a lot of excitement. He may occasionally make an interception for his team within his half and is a skilled ball tackler. The Scottish prospect is a skilled ball distributor and doesn’t mind clearing the danger when necessary. Osborne would need more time to establish his value at the top level, though, as he is still rather raw.

Additionally, if Man City is able to finalize a deal for him during this summer transfer window, there are some doubts about his ability to adjust to life in the Premier League. In the long run, we may anticipate that Osborne will improve Pep Guardiola’s midfield. He might develop into a quality player for the Premier League team in the future and would be a fantastic addition to Man City’s academy.

As long as Osborne keeps getting better every year, his 17-year-old future appears to be quite promising. Guardiola should thus concentrate on acquiring him this summer.
