Fourteen-year-old forward Jadon Sancho has left Watford and signed with Premier League champions Manchester City.
According to national media, City have paid an initial £66,000 for the England Under-15 international but the deal could rise to £500,000 with add-ons.
Watford have reportedly secured a ten per cent sell on fee but the figures are yet to be confirmed by the Hornets.
Liverpool were also believed to be interested in Sancho, who already has a sponsorship deal with American company Nike.
Sancho posted a message on social networking website Twitter which read: "Thank you for everything @watfordfcsays! Hello @MCFC very happy to be joining such a great club."
