Manchester City are ready to offer Wycombe starlet Jordan Ibe a multi-million pound package, in a bid to beat Premier League rivals Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United to his signature.
The 15-year-old shot to fame with a superb goal against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, in his first professional start, following a series of impressive substitute appearances.
Ibe's strike helped seal a place in the Wycombe history books, as their youngest ever scorer, but with a host of Premier League sides now stepping up their interest, it looks like his days as a Chairboys player are numbered.
Manchester United came close to sealing a transfer in the summer, but rivals Manchester City have now made approaches to the players agent, offering a package that includes a house and car for the family, on top of a four-year development based contract.
The deal is attractive, but it's thought that Ibe would prefer a move to United or Arsenal instead, despite the financial incentives being offered up by chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
A switch in the forthcoming January transfer window is looking increasingly likely, but with such competition for a player manager Gary Waddock said this week can 'play at the highest level', there are a number of twists and turns still to come.
