Manchester City want talented midfielder James McAtee to stay with their first team squad despite a number of requests for him to go on loan.
Known as the 'Salford Silva', the stylish playmaker has drawn comparisons with former City star David and was formerly with Manchester United's academy.
Indeed, he grabbed headlines at the weekend after scoring a stunning hat-trick against United in Saturday's mini Manchester derby, where City ran out 4-2 winners.
After switching to City he has continued to impress staff and supporters with his performances prompting interest from a number of Championship clubs, notably Swansea City where boss Russell Martin is revered for his possession-style of play.
