Man City keeping an eye on Lucas Halter's progress

According to 'Sky Sports News' Manchester City are keeping a close eye on the 17-year-old's progress at Brazilian Serie A club Atletico Paranaense.

The youngster participated in the 2017 U17 FIFA World Cup, and where Brazil finished third after being eliminated at the semi-final stage by England. 

Halter has attracted the attention of several European clubs, but Manchester City are tipped to have the greatest interest. 

If the young defender does indeed make the move to the Etihad Stadium, he will join fellow Brazilians including Ederson, Gabriel Jesus, Fernandinho and Danilo.
