Sunderland line up Man City star, 19, as Jobe Bellingham replacement as Dortmund transfer edges closer
Talented midfielder Gray, 19, has a year left on his City contract and may look to move on for the chance of a first-team spot with the Premier League new boy
He has been on City‘s books since he was just eight and is yet to make his senior debut.
The teenager helped the club’s Under-21s win both the league and play-off phase of the Premier League 2 last season.
Described as a “calm, ball-playing defensive midfielder”, he also caught the eye in the youth Champions League as City reached the quarter-finals.
Gray could follow in the footsteps of stars such as Romeo Lavia, Jadon Sancho and Jeremie Frimpong in leaving Manchester for senior football without a Prem appearance to their name.
