Manchester City have agreed a deal in principle to sign 18-year-old Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. The transfer is worth 100m euros, around £86m. Bouaddi has been a regular in Lille's first team despite his age, and City moved early to secure his signature. The deal is not finalised yet, but both clubs are close on terms. Bouaddi is viewed as a long-term midfield option for Pep Guardiola's squad.
