City youth policy would be rocked by Brexit

That sounds like good news all round for English football

Likes of Brahim top talent but will likely block pathway for other English lads in the academy coming through!

At the moment we can sign EU players from 16. Once we leave the EU in a couple of years this won't be allowed and the minimum will be 18.

Is there a way around this and will it seriously affect the academy's ability to attract the best players?

No one knows but no one really knows what Brexit will actually look like as yet.

Suspect one of our partner clubs would end up having a very good academy if this becomes a problem.

The quality of their teams would drop severely between u18 and u21 though I reckon ;)

They would have to be in the EU which they aren't so that wouldn't work. Only EU clubs can sign EU players from 16
