THE Football Association are investigating allegations that Manchester City paid £200,000 to Jadon Sancho’s agent when the player was 14.
German magazine Der Spiegel claimed City made the banned payment to agent Emeka Obasi in relation to the deal that took the youngster to the club from Watford in 2015.
Under Premier League rules, clubs are not permitted to offer financial inducements to a player under 16 or any person connected with that player.
