Tottenham and Belgian champions interested in Man City's British-Nigerian winger

Scotland U19 international of Nigerian descent Dire Mebude is being linked with a departure from Manchester City ahead of the close of the summer transfer window.

Italian transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that the London-born winger is attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Belgian champions Club Brugge.

Manchester City are doing everything possible to keep him but a decision will be made soon.

Dire is the younger brother of the popular Watford striker Dapo Mebude, who met with the Nigerian Federation president Amaju Pinnick when he visited England last summer.

The younger Mebude joined Manchester City in 2020, having progressed through the academy ranks at Glasgow Rangers.

Dire put himself in the shop window after an outstanding season with Manchester City U18s, helping them win the U18 Premier League national title.

The skillful winger was named Manchester City's U18 Players Player of the Year for the 2021-2022 season on the back of scoring 11 goals as well as contributing eighteen assists.
