Manchester City winger Jayden Braaf is close to joining Udinese on loan.
The 18-year-old is expected to undergo a medical over the next 24 hours. Braaf has previously attracted attention from Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, who have since moved to sign Leicester's Demarai Gray.
City value Braaf at around £8million for any permanent deal and would want a sell-on clause.
Braaf's ability has drawn comparisons with former City academy graduate Jadon Sancho but he has found himself out of the Under-23 team despite being fully fit.
