Another step up for young City keeper

Manchester City goalkeeper Oliver Whatmuff is expected to join Stockport County on a season-long loan, according to Manchester Evening News journalist Simon Bajkowski.

The 18-year-old impressed during a loan spell at Rochdale last season and is now set for a step up to League One for the 2026-27 campaign.

City are continuing his development with the move, which will give him regular first-team football at a higher level.
