Manchester City and Newcastle United scouts were present in Croatia to watch 18-year-old forward Anton Matkovic in action, sparking rumors of a potential move for the talented youngster. Both Premier League clubs are keen on recruiting top young talents, with Newcastle looking to bolster their squad despite financial fair play constraints and City renowned for their successful youth development program.
