Manchester City have reportedly rejected an £8million bid from Brighton for James McAtee.
The 18-year-old, who operates as an attacking midfielder and has a similar style to Phil Foden, made his first-team debut last month in the 7-1 Carabao Cup win over Wycombe.
While Crystal Palace and West Ham are also interested in the England youth international, the Seagulls have been the most keen to secure his services, according to The Athletic, who revealed that the East Sussex club wanted to convince McAtee of their plans to offer him a quicker route to first-team football than at the Premier League champions, although Pep Guardiola did play him in pre-season and most recently put him on the bench
