Manchester City and Newcastle eyeing 18-year-old Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri - who has been starring under manager Diego Forlan - and is also wanted by Real Madrid

Manchester City and Newcastle United are trailing highly-rated young winger Facundo Pellistri.

The 18-year-old Uruguayan has been earning rave reviews with his performances for Penarol's first team, who are coached by former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan.

Indeed, last year's break-out season for the quicksilver teenager known as 'Facu' has drawn approaches from the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico, Napoli and Boca Juniors.

Real have previously plundered Penarol to sign Federico Valverde and are in little doubt skilful Pellistri can make a similar impact.
