Jaxon Lal, a 3-year - old boy is wanted by Manchester City

A 3-year old boy called Jaxon Lal has been headhunted by Manchester City.This was after the mother, Radcliffe, from Droylsden, Greater Manchester, posted a video of him playing football online.A scout for Manchester City spotted the video on Facebook.The video shows Jaxon Lal, whose hero is Lionel Messi, knocking a ball around in his garden wearing a Barcelona shirt.


The mother practices football with Jaxon and his brother Riley,four, every day but never dreamed that her son would be spotted by professionals.

She said:
"I posted the video of Jaxon playing in the garden on Facebook and it was shared once by Riley's under 6's team 'Medlock Juniors'. Next thing I had a call from a  City scout. I couldn't believe it- I thought it was a wind up at first"

Ms Radcliffe who is a Manchester United supporter said her boys quickly switched their allegiance to the Blues when she got the call from City coaches

She believes that the son 'Jaxon' will be one of the youngest children ever invited along to the club's academy when he visits for a trial.

She added:
"They didn't realise he was only three.Jaxon can't wait.It's like Christmas for him every day. He keeps asking how long he has to wait until he can play"

She also stated that her two boys are great little sportsmen and now she hopes both of them could be in with a chance of a professional career in football

She added: 'Jaxon has only been playing for five months and really got interested when Riley started playing with Medlock Juniors. He is brilliant for his age and he is tiny.'I knew he was good and thought maybe one day someone might see something in him but never thought he'd be so young when he was spotted.'He has been kicking a ball around since he was first able to walk but has really taken an interest since Riley started playing.'They are both left footed which is supposed to be good. They'd both love to be footballers.'
