Bundesliga club FC Koln are interested in City forward Reigan Heskey.
Reports in Germany suggest the club have been looking at the 19-year-old attacker, who has impressed during his time with City’s Elite Development Squad.
Heskey is considered one of the promising young players within City’s academy and could now be approaching a key point in his career as he looks for the next challenge.
City academy forward attracting attention
The son of former England striker Emile Heskey, Reigan has developed through City’s youth system and has been a regular presence for the EDS.
His performances have brought attention from outside England, with Koln now exploring whether a move could be possible this summer.
For young players at City, the challenge is often finding a route into regular first-team football. A loan move can provide an opportunity to gain senior experience, test themselves at a higher level and continue their development away from the academy environment.
Germany could offer next step
The Bundesliga has become a popular destination for young English players looking for first-team opportunities, with several using Germany as a platform to establish themselves at senior level.
For Heskey, interest from FC Koln is another indication of the reputation he has built during his time at City.
There is no agreement in place at this stage, but the 19-year-old’s future will be one to follow as the summer window approaches.
More to follow.
