Manchester City are reportedly keen on the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tyrese Hall.

The 18-year-old is highly rated in English football and his performances have attracted the attention of the Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

According to a report from football transfers, Guardiola sent scouts to watch the player in action recently. Hall was in action for the Tottenham under-21s against Aston Villa and he picked up two assists in front of the Manchester City scouts.

The 18-year-old is a versatile midfielder who can operate as a defensive midfielder, as well as an attacking midfielder. He has the technical attributes and flair to slot into wide roles as well.

The technically gifted midfielder is highly rated within the club and Tottenham are keen to hold onto him for the long term. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal to sign the midfielder in the coming months..

The Premier League champions have placed special emphasis on recruiting top young talents around Europe and they have done well to nurture players like Phil Foden and Rico Lewis in recent years. They will be hoping to groom Hall into a quality first team player for the club in the coming seasons if they manage to secure his services.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Tottenham are keen on putting together a formidable squad for the future and it would be very surprising if they allowed a prodigious young talent like Hall to join a direct Premier League rival.
