Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester City are convinced they will win the race to sign AFC Wimbledon goalkeeper, Thorsten ‘Spike’ Brits, who is also rumoured to be on Tottenham’s radar.
Brits is working his way through the youth ranks at Wimbledon and is making waves for the League Two side’s Under 18s team.
His performances have not only seen the youngster being capped by England’s Under-16s but have also seen him attract interest from several top-flight clubs.
The South London Press reported back in February that Tottenham and Manchester United had both been alerted to Brits’ talent and were plotting moves for him.
The report suggested that he could be the next player from the Dons’ academy to make a big move in the summer.
However, there now appears to have been a twist in the race for Brits’ signature, with Manchester City having entered the picture.
