Manchester City have sealed the deal for highly-rated Dutch U17 international Mikki van Sas from Eredivisie side Utrecht.
The 16-year-old helped the Netherlands to a fourth-place finish at the FIFA U17 World Cup in Brazil 2019.
Sas has now secured a deal with Utrecht confirming that the youngster is joining the Etihad outfit in the summer.
Utrecht's technical director, Jordy Zuidam, told the club's official website when confirming a deal with City: "We say goodbye to Mikki with mixed feelings.
"On the one hand, we regret that Mikki, an incredibly talented goalkeeper, leaves our academy. We would of course have liked to see Mikki shine in the Galgenwaard Stadium, which is what we train for.
"On the other hand, Mikki said that he really wanted to make this move and we also see his transfer to Manchester City as a compliment to our youth academy. This transition confirms the elevated level of the academy.
"We have reached an agreement with Manchester City on the transfer terms and all parties are satisfied. We wish Mikki every success in England."

EPL: What David Luiz said after gifting Man City two goals in Arsenal's 3-0 defeat

Image
Arsenal defender, David Luiz, has taken full responsibility for their 3-0 defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday night. Luiz who was left on the bench for the game, came on in the first half to replace the injured Pablo Mari. His clumsy touch allowed Raheem Sterling to slam the ball past Bernd Leno, before he tripped Riyad Mahrez inside the box. Kevin De Bruyne stepped up to make it 2-0 from the spot. Phil Foden added a third goal, to seal all three points for the champions. "It was not the team's fault, it was my fault. I think the team did well, especially after with 10 men. "The coach is amazing, all the players did amazing, it was just my fault. "I don't want to use that [contract expiring] as an alibi or excuse," Luiz told Sky Sports.

See staggering amount Anthony Joshua and Fury are to share after their heavyweight fight next year

Image
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury stand a chance to earn about £70 million each if they stage their heavyweight unification bout next year. The two British boxers are in possession of all the belts in their category and they have reached an agreement to face-off in a two-legged encounter in 2021. Reports claim that the winner of the first leg would win double of his take-home when they clash in the final round of the meeting according to the deal they agreed in principle. Both fighters have been throwing banter at each other since February after Fury handed Deontay Wilder his first defeat, and was crowned the new WBC champion. However, the Gypsy King will have to repeat his dominance over the Bronze Bomber, while Joshua battle Kubrat Pulev before this historic encounter can take place. The Mirror reports that both boxers will earn about £60m and £70m each once they put pen to paper on an agreement, while the winner earns 60 percent of the purse in a rematch. Looking like a s...

This is the PlayStation 5

Image
And here it is. Although Sony said today's PS5 event would be about games, it finally let the world get a look at the actual console. Until now, all that Sony had confirmed about its next-generation hardware were the console's specificationsand the DualSense controller. The PS5 is eyecatching, to say the least. As many expected in the wake of the controller, Sony used a mix of white and black for a two-tone design, foregoing the mostly monochrome looks of previous generations. The white wraps around the main body, with the PlayStation logo in the top left corner. The promo video suggests you can position it vertically or horizontally. And that's not all. Sony also revealed a number of accessories, including a matching Pulse 3D wireless headset, an HD camera, a media remote and a stand for your DualSense. What's more, there's a PS5 Digital Edition that ditches the optical disc drive and will probably be a bit less expensive. Sony waited until six...
