QUEENS PARK RANGERS
A trio of top level clubs are chasing the youngster from the Championship's side's academy with his deal set to expire in the summer
Manchester City, Celtic and Crystal Palace are all moving to sign Sinclair Armstrong from Championship side Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer to bolster their academy ranks.
Armstrong is regarded as one of the top talents to come out of the Republic of Ireland, making his professional debut for Shamrock Rovers when he was still just 15 in 2018. He made six Irish first division appearances and also played in the domestic cup.
The Republic of Ireland Under-17 international only joined QPR in October but he only signed a deal until June 2021, which makes him eligible to sign a pre-contract with another club.
Man City have recently won the FA Youth Cup and are regarded as one of the top academies in England. However, the pathway might be easier at either Celtic or Crystal Palace with both clubs having some success in bringing through talented prospects in the past.

Is this a situation where he was too young to sign for us for a longer term?
"Rack and stack" by the elite teams continues.

Would there be a Raheem Sterling sell on as an option?
(sorry if no one knows the answers!)
