Manchester City eyeing young Premier League prospect

The player in question is Southampton’s under-18 England star Kgaogelo ‘Kegs’ Chauke.

Chauke made his Saints debut in last season’s FA Cup win against Shrewsbury and has featured on the bench in the premier league several times.

Chauke’s contract will expire at the end of the season and he is still yet to sign an extension or say anything about his future at St.Mary’s.

Man City chiefs are keeping an eye on negotiations as well as scouts from the Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach and Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany led Belgian team Anderlecht.

Chauke, who turns 19 in January, was bought by Southampton from non-league Thatcham Town and signed his first professional contract in January of last year.

The youngster is a regular key man for Southampton’s B team, even captaining the side and playing a vital role in the form turnaround for the B team.
