MORNING FOOTY FANS

Man City are set to sign Cardiff City starlet Lewys Benjamin, reports suggest.

Benjamin, 17, will undergo a medical before putting pen to paper with City where he will play as the academy goalkeeper.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Wales Under-17 international was targeted by a host of Premier League clubs.

But Cardiff’s teenage sensation ultimately opted for the “Man City project”.

Romano tweeted: “Cardiff City talent Lewys Benjamin, undergoing medical tests and now set to sign with Manchester City as new Academy goalkeeper.

“Wales U17 international, Benjamin was in the list of many UK clubs but he said yes to Man City project.”

Jamie Carragher has suggested that Erling Haaland might have signed for the WRONG club.

Speaking on Sky Sports, the ex-Liverpool defender said: “He may have actually picked the wrong club to actually get the best out of him.

“Manchester City, as a team, have scored the same amount of goals.

“He’s scored 25 Premier League goals, but Manchester City as a team have scored the same amount of goals and they’ve conceded more and it’s far easier to counter-attack them as well.

“So they’re a different team and a lesser team with Erling Haaland in the team and it’s not his fault.

“Manchester City as a team will not play end to end football, it’s not Pep Guardiola’s way.

“Erling Haaland has still scored 25 goals, but we’re not seeing the full package of what this player can do because of the team that he’s gone to.

“I’m not criticising him and I think he’s that he’s so good he’s still scored 25 goals, but we’ve probably only seen 60 or 70 per cent of him.

“We’re not seeing that power and that blistering pace, but we’ve got to come back to the fact that no matter how many goals he’s scored as an individual, Manchester City have scored exactly the same number of goals.”

Antonio Conte was straight on the phone to Harry Kane after his Tottenham star’s record-breaking matchwinner against Manchester City.

The striker grabbed the only goal of the game as Spurs defeated the Cityzens in North London.

That was his 267th strike for the club and saw him move ahead of Jimmy Greaves as the club’s all-time top scorer.

And as soon as he was in the dressing-room the absent Conte was straight on the blower to his superstar, although the conversation remained private despite Sky Sports’ cameras being there to capture the moment.

West Brom manager Carlos Corberan is reportedly “emerging as a potential candidate” for Leeds United should they sack Jesse Marsch.

The Elland Road side’s miserable run of form continued with a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest today.

That left them without a win in the Premier League since November 5 and only out of the bottom three via goal difference.

Marsch has admitted that he understands the frustrations of supporters as the pressure mounts ahead of a double header with in-form Manchester United this week.

Now the Daily Mail are claiming Leeds “owner Andrea Radrizzani and Paraag Marathe will be the men that have the key say on Marsch’s future” over the coming days.

They state that Corberan, who previously worked for the club as coach under Marcelo Bielsa, “was admired” already.
