Manchester City are among the clubs tracking Romanian starlet Florinel Coman.

City have made a number of checks on the 21 year-old Steaua Bucharest winger who is one of his countries brightest prospects and even been likened to France star Kylian Mbappe by his club's owner Gigi Becali.

Coman was part of the Romania side that stunned Aidy Boothroyd's England during the summer's Under-21 European Championship.

He scored twice to help Romania to a 4-2 group win that sent England crashing out of the competition.

Coman has since graduated to Romania's senior set-up, making his debut earlier this month in their 3-0 win over the Faroe Islands.

Coman, a graduate of the Gheorghe Hagi Academy back in his homeland, continued his impressive season in front of representatives from some of his admirers on Saturday.

He scored twice and set up two more goals in Steaua's 4-0 win over Hermannstadt, taking his tally in all competitions to eight goals and five assists in 19 games for his club.

West Ham and Italians Roma are also monitoring Coman.
