According to the most recent sources, Leeds United has entered the competition for Northern Irish teenage phenom
Jack Hastings, in light of Finley Gorman’s imminent move to Manchester City.
The Yorkshire Evening Post was the first to reveal that the 15-year-old youngster was being coveted by European
champions Man City, who were having difficulty holding onto him.
The Athletic then published a story of their own, stating that the English powerhouses would be compelled to pay a

transfer record for a player in his age group.
Regardless of his age, Gorman has consistently defied expectations. At just 14 years and 326 days old, he became the
youngest-ever talent to score a brace in an U18s Premier League match against Arsenal during the previous season.

counterbalance the loss of Gorman by attempting to sign 17-year-old Larne sensation Jack Hastings. However, they
would have to contend with fierce competition from Wolverhampton Wanderers, a Premier League team.

Despite not turning 18 until March, he made his senior debut with Larne in the Irish Cup this season, representing
Northern Ireland.
