The young prodigy has been training with the Absa Premiership side for the last 2 seasons.

Soccer Laduma reported that Christodoulou possesses a Cyprian passport, which would facilitate the move to Manchester.

The passport will enable him to move between clubs as he has already turned 16.

South Africa has been represented in the English Premier League previously with the likes of Shaun Bartlett, Lucas Radebe and company.

Currently, Tyrique Bartlett, son of Shaun, and Siph Mdlalose are playing at Newcastle United and Southampton respectively.
