Manchester City defender Luke Mbete is closing on a move to Dutch side Den Bosch.<\/p>\n
The highly rated 19-year old had a spell at Bolton Wanderers last season but is looking to get a more competitive full season under his belt in Holland’s second tier.<\/p>\n
Den Bosch face Den Haag this evening so Mbete faces a race against time to be registered in time to play but if he misses out will be in the squad to face Jong PSV next Friday.<\/p>\n
Mbete was part of the City squad that won the FA Youth Cup in 2020 and has gone on to make his first team debut.<\/p>\n
The centre-back made three appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side in the 2021-22 season.<\/p>\n

He was loaned to Huddersfield for the 2022-23 season then joined Bolton for the second half of the season.<\/p>\n
He scored his first goal in senior football in February during a 5-0 win over Milton Keynes.<\/p>\n
City have still to decide on the next step for some of their youngsters but want England U21 international Mbete to get a full season under his belt to aid his development.<\/p>\n
Mbete’s fellow City academy graduate Cole Palmer could also be set to depart the Etihad Stadium in search of regular first-team football.\u00a0<\/p>\n
