Manchester City teenager Bersant Celina agrees four-year deal - sources

Manchester City youngster Bersant Celina has agreed a new deal at the club, sources have told ESPN FC.

Celina, 19, is regarded as one of the best young players to come through City's academy in recent years and he broke into Manuel Pellegrini's first-team this season.

The midfielder made his debut for the senior side in the FA Cup third round in January and went on to make three further appearances in all competitions, including creating a goal for Sergio Aguero after coming on as a substitute in the 3-1 defeat against Leicester in the Premier League.

The Kosovo-born teenager is tipped for a big future at City and the club have moved to reward him for his progress with a new four-year deal to keep him at the Etihad until 2020.

Celina is expected to feature for City on their preseason tour of China before Pep Guardiola decides whether or not to keep the Norway under-21 international in his plans for next season or loan him out so that he can play regularly.
