Newcastle close in on signing Man City starlet Alfie Harrison, 18, with the highly-rated midfielder set to join the Magpies on a permanent deal

Newcastle are closing on agreement with Manchester City for midfielder Alfie Harrison.

The highly-rated 18-year-old has excelled in City's academy and the Magpies are now closing in on a move.

The teenager is expected to undergo a medical at St James' Park in the coming days should the two sides agree to a deal.

Harrison has drawn comparisons to City's star striker Erling Haaland for his appearance, with the midfielder also posting impressive numbers when it comes to goals and assists for the club's youth sides.

Newcastle's head of youth recruitment Paul Midgely, who left Man City for the Magpies in 2022, is thought to have played a key role on the deal to bring Harrison to Tyneside.
