Man City complete signing of Dutch sensation who is perfect replacement for Brazilian star

Manchester City have sealed the deal for highly-rated Dutch U17 international Mikki van Sas from Eredivisie side Utrecht.

The 16-year-old helped the Netherlands to a fourth-place finish at the FIFA U17 World Cup in Brazil 2019.

Sas has now secured a deal with Utrecht confirming that the youngster is joining the Etihad outfit in the summer.

Utrecht's technical director, Jordy Zuidam, told the club's official website when confirming a deal with City: "We say goodbye to Mikki with mixed feelings.

"On the one hand, we regret that Mikki, an incredibly talented goalkeeper, leaves our academy. We would of course have liked to see Mikki shine in the Galgenwaard Stadium, which is what we train for.

"On the other hand, Mikki said that he really wanted to make this move and we also see his transfer to Manchester City as a compliment to our youth academy. This transition confirms the elevated level of the academy.

"We have reached an agreement with Manchester City on the transfer terms and all parties are satisfied. We wish Mikki every success in England."
