Manchester City have expressed interest in Ajax's 16-year-old talent, Jorthy Mokio. The club has dispatched scouts to observe his performances closely. The versatile Belgian international began his career at Gent before transferring to Ajax on a free deal, and he has attracted the attention of several elite clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, who are also keeping tabs on his development. Mokio has delivered impressive performances both as a left-back and a midfielder across his 23 appearances this season, even though only two of these have been in the Eredivisie. Despite his limited exposure in the league, his potential is widely recognized, making him a coveted prospect among Europe's top clubs.
