Manchester City with distinct advantage in race for ‘shooting star’ – Already visited Etihad facilities

Manchester City are one of the sides trying to sign French talent Mathys Detourbet from Troyes. That’s according to Foot Mercato.

They report that Detourbet is ‘a shooting star’ and the 18-year-old could very well follow in the footsteps of other French talents who have climbed the ranks quickly.

He’s very much at home at Troyes, where he’s been since a youngster, honing his skills in the youth ranks and then reserve team before being thrown into the deep end with the first team.

He managed 14 appearances, only one as a starter. So far, he’s managed one goal and two assists but his ‘goalscoring instinct’, skill on the ball and other qualities have caught the eye of several clubs.
