Clubs reported to be tracking youngster

Skysports.com understands that Macclesfield Town youngster Vinny Mukendi is attracting interest from the Premier League. Mukendi, who has Congolese roots, joined Macc's youth academy on a scholarship in 2008. The 18-year-old striker is a dominant figure standing at 6ft 6" tall, and is very highly-rated by Town. His emergence into their first-team has not gone unnoticed with at least one Premier League club known to be actively monitoring Mukendi, while a number of Championship clubs are also thought to be keeping close tabs on him. Silkmen boss Gary Simpson has previously stated his belief that Mukendi could have a huge future ahead of him. "The lad has a big future if he keeps his feet on the ground, keeps learning and keeps doing what he's told. He's got a big future ahead of him," said Simpson.
