CRUZ CONTROL Man Utd eyeing transfer raid for EFL wonderkid with Chelsea and Newcastle monitoring midfielder

DERBY are braced for bids to whisk away top talent Cruz Allen.
The Welsh youth cap, 16, is already tearing it up in the Rams’ Under-18 side and that has alerted Manchester United.

Chelsea and Newcastle are also on the midfielder’s trail.
Meanwhile, ex-County boss Paul Jewell made a brief comeback at Bradford — as part of the interview team for a new manager.
United are looking to make additions in the January transfer window amid their worst start in Premier League history.
The Red Devils are eyeing Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann as they look for someone to add some spark to their struggling attack.
The Manchester giants see Griezmann as the perfect replacement for Jadon Sancho, who has fallen out of favour after his public spat with manager Erik ten Hag.
United are open to hearing offers for Sancho, who no longer trains with the first team.
However, the club's movements in January will largely depend on Sir Jim Ratcliffe's ongoing takeover bid.
Ratcliffe is buying 25 per cent of the club and will be in charge of football operations.
Newcastle, on the other hand, benefited from a recent vote in which Premier League clubs agreed to allow loan signings between teams with the same owner.
That could see the Magpies making a bid for Al-Hilal star Ruben Neves to fill in for Sandro Tonali, who has been banned for 10 months following betting breaches.
Neves' club is under Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, who also own the Toon.
