"The highly-rated England Under-21 international joined City from Southampton's academy in 2021 for a reported 1.5m fee and is described as a "cultured and ball-playing" centre-back. He helped the elite development squad win the Premier League 2 title last season and after a total of 28 games at that level, his impressive performances saw him claim the club's under-21 player of the year award."
"The 20-year-old has sporting pedigree running in his family, with his father being former England cricket all-rounder and current Gloucestershire coach Mark Alleyne. As a player, Mark played 10 one-day internationals for England between 1999 and 2000, scoring almost 15,000 first-class runs in his career. Alleyne told BBC Sport last year he did not choose to play cricket as he "enjoyed football growing up" and his dad was "never pushy" in what he wanted to do."
Max Alleyne is a 20-year-old England Under-21 centre-back who joined Manchester City from Southampton's academy in 2021 for a reported £1.5m. He is regarded as a cultured, ball-playing defender and helped the elite development squad win the Premier League 2 title, making 28 appearances at that level and winning the club's under-21 player of the year award. Alleyne made 16 Championship appearances this season for Watford. City recalled Alleyne following injuries to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol, with Gvardiol set for surgery after breaking his shinbone. Alleyne is athletic, comfortable passing and dribbling, and has drawn comparisons to John Stones.
