According to reports in The Sun, Manchester City are in the race to sign teenage striker Kasper Dolberg who is making waves in Dutch football this season.

What's the word?

Manchester City have one of the most talented squads in England and aren't lacking for firepower, with only Liverpool netting more Premier League goals so far this term.

That's not stopping them looking to the future, though, with 19-year-old Kasper Dolberg a target for Pep Guardiola ahead of the January transfer window.

Quoted by The Sun, City scout Sebastian Arnesen said: "We are keeping a very close eye on him, and when the time is right we’ll make a decision on whether we should act. He is so special, and therefore he is of course also on the radar."

Unusually candid words for a football club official, but they highlight how highly Dolberg is thought of in the game.

Really that good?

Scoring eleven goals in 15 starts for Ajax this season, Dolberg has taken Eredivisie by storm since joining from Danish Superlig side Silkeborg in the summer.

At just 19, he's also already made his debut for Denmark, his first appearance coming last month against Kazakhstan.

His finishing ability is ridiculously composed for a player of such a young age, while he also has the dribbling ability to take defenders on at speed.

Despite hitting headlines through the season, it was his stunning recent performance against NEC Nijmegen that really set tongues wagging.

An incredible first half hat-trick destroyed NEC, and made up part of a 5-0 victory, in which Dolberg also got an assist.

If he can keep producing to that standard, we reckon City won't be the only massive club looking to make a bid for him in upcoming transfer windows.
