Reported Aston Villa transfer target James McAtee has signed a new contract at Manchester City. The 19-year-old was linked with a whole host of clubs in the January transfer window, including Villa, Manchester United, Liverpool and Leicester City. Despite speculation around his future last month, McAtee says that it feels ‘amazing’ to commit his future to Man City.
James McAtee said: “This is a really proud moment in my career, and I am so grateful to the Club for showing their faith in me. I’ve been here since I was 11 and I can’t thank everyone enough for everything they have done for me. I have worked with some brilliant coaches in the Academy, who have put me in a position to be able to train and play with Pep Guardiola and the first team, which is all I’ve ever wanted to do. I’ve been really pleased with my progress this season and I am sure I am in the right place to keep improving, so it feels amazing to know I will be a Manchester City player for another four years.”
