Linfield teenage sensation won't be at club much longer, according to manager David Healy

Linfield manager David Healy has predicted teenage sensation Charlie Allen won't be at the club much longer.

But for all the right reasons.

The 15-year-old midfielder is reportedly on the radar of a number of cross-channel clubs including Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Celtic and Rangers.

Allen was originally named in Linfield's 25-man squad for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Rosenborg in Belfast .

"Charlie was named in the 25-man squad for the Rosenborg game which tells you how much we rate him," Healy said.

"He's still young, developing and has a lot to learn, but I know, in time, Charlie won't see his 17th or 18th birthday at Linfield.

"He will be elsewhere. Our plan is to guide him the best way for the next 12 months when he is here.

"He is still at school and hopefully when he does go he will make the right choices and have an incredible full-time career."
