REIGAN HESKEY may soon become the next Manchester City talent to enter Pep Guardiola’s plans, following an impressive goal in a UEFA Youth League victory against Real Madrid.
The young star aims to emulate his father Emile, who earned 62 caps for England and lifted various trophies throughout his distinguished career.

when Manchester City triumphed over Huddersfield Town in the Carabao Cup back in September.
Although Guardiola has not provided him with more playing time since that brief appearance off the bench, it seems likely that he will receive opportunities in the upcoming months after his standout performance today.
Charlie Gray and Ryan McAidoo had already given Manchester City’s under-19 team a two-goal advantage away at Real Madrid when Heskey took the spotlight.
Footage reveals that the skillful winger outmaneuvered four Los Blancos defenders before shifting onto his right foot and sending an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the net.
But Heskey was not finished there; he also converted a late penalty to seal a 4-0 victory.
This convincing win allowed the Sky Blues’ talented youth players to rise to 10th place in the UEFA Youth League.
They have secured their spot in the round of 32 and will learn about their opponents on Friday.
Heskey joined the club at the age of eight and was promoted to the U21s a year ago.
His performances at the club level earned him his first two caps for the England U18s in October.
He also scored during a draw with France.
This season, he has already netted seven goals across all competitions for Manchester City.
This includes a remarkable 20-minute hat-trick in a 5-0 victory over Norwich in Premier League 2.
With England last month, he scored four goals and provided three assists before the team was eliminated in the round of 16.
