Manchester City are determined to win the race for Feyenoord teen Rodney Kongolo.
The People says City sent a delegation to watch the teenage midfielder in action for Holland's youth team against Belgium.
Liverpool also want to snatch the 6ft 1in Feyenoord star when he turns 16 and also had scouts at the international.
Manchester United are also keen on Kongolo, whose mixture of size and skill excites all of the Premier League clubs who want to buy at around £1.5million.
