City chase 9 year old Chinese prodigy
The new money bags of the English Premier League Manchester City are understood to have entered the race to sign Chinese wonderkid Yu Foo Kin Dum.
Reports have spread round the internet about the young lad from Yunnan province after a video was shown on You Tube showing him score 6 goals in one game. Other footage showed the player running with the ball and leaving defenders in his wake.
City haven't said anything official but once they heard that Arsenal and Manchester United had shown an interest in Yu they have decided to have a look themselves.
Both Arsenal and Manchester United have a large supporter base in China and it is believed City are also interested in tapping into this huge market. And they believe signing Yu will give them an extra advantage over the more traditional big names.
One source close to the club suggests that they will send scouts to China in the near future and hope to impress the child's parents with the seriousness of their bid.
The club believe it would be a huge feather in their cap if they were to takeaway the highly sought after Yu from their rivals and would announce their arrival on the big stage.
