# Manchester City: Cityzens eyeing teen sensation Dzenan Pejcinovic

**[Manchester City](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-city-news/) are looking at a deal for free agent teenager Dzenan Pejcinovic, according to German publication [Bild](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/vfl-wolfsburg-kovac-pep-und-juve-jagen-17-jaehriges-mega-talent-80585826,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/manchester-city-want-sign-17-year-old-attacker-described-super-talent/)).**

### The lowdown

Pejcinovic had been on the books of Augsburg but has been [without a club](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dzenan-pejcinovic/transfers/spieler/819636) since Friday, having reached the end of his contract with the [Bundesliga](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/bundesliga-news/) outfit.

He had previously been [part of the youth setup at Bayern Munich](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dzenan-pejcinovic/transfers/spieler/819636) before making the move to Augsburg in 2017.

Aged just 17, he [hadn’t made his senior debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dzenan-pejcinovic/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/819636) for the club before he opted to leave.

### The latest

The report from [Bild](https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/vfl-wolfsburg-kovac-pep-und-juve-jagen-17-jaehriges-mega-talent-80585826,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/manchester-city-want-sign-17-year-old-attacker-described-super-talent/)) says that ‘City want to sign’ Pejcinovic, who has been billed as a ‘super-talent’.

For now, it’s Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg who are considered the favourites in the competition for his signature.

### The verdict

The ‘super-talent’ tag for Pejcinovic is certainly justified. He scored 12 goals in 21 appearances in the Under-17 Bundesliga (South/Southwest division) last season and promptly graduated to the Under-19 equivalent ahead of schedule (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dzenan-pejcinovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/819636)).

However, what’s most impressive is his record for Germany at under-17 level. In his first 16 caps at that age group, he has remarkably [scored 17 goals and provided five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dzenan-pejcinovic/nationalmannschaft/spieler/819636).

Talent scout [Jacek Kulig](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout/status/1525420739846889473) has described that record as ‘phenomenal’ and talked up Pejcinovic’s ruthlessness in front of goal, billing him a ‘natural born killer’.

He would probably join up with City’s under-18s or under-23s at first if he were to move to the Etihad Stadium, but he certainly seems to be a name to remember for the future.
