Deal agreed: Leeds United break transfer record as they finally agree to lose one of their most highly-rated young talents to man city with record fee….

The two clubs are believed to have agreed a fee that is worth seven figures, with Leeds somewhat powerless as Gorman is still on schoolboy terms with the club due to his age.

A deal isn’t completed just yet, but the expectation is that Gorman will make the switch to the Etihad Stadium in the near future and link up with their academy.

It was first reported nearly a month ago by the Yorkshire Evening Post that Gorman was attracting interest from City, who have swept up several talented youngsters from EFL clubs from all around the country in recent years to bolster their fledging academy setup.

And Gorman has come on the radar of big clubs due to the fact he is playing above his age group – he is still two seasons away from being a scholar at Elland Road but has still been featuring in recent times for the under-18’s, despite only turning 15 years of age in September.
