Manchester City beat Chelsea to PSV Eindhoven striker Jayden Braaf
Manchester City have beaten off competition from Chelsea to close on a deal for PSV Eindhoven striker Jayden Braaf.
The Holland U15 international, who turns 16 in August, joined PSV from Ajax four years ago and is regarded as one of his country's brightest young talents.
He can play as a striker or off either wing and has drawn comparisons with City's Gabriel Jesus and Jadon Sancho, now of Dortmund.

Chelsea believed they had convinced Braaf to join them back in March, fending off interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
However City have come back to the fore and are now favourites to complete the signing.
Meanwhile, City expect to finalise the signing of Italy international midfielder Jorginho from Napoli in the coming days after a breakthrough in negotiations.
Riyad Mahrez will also join from Leicester City.
