Young England starlet Billy Crellin rejects interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton to pen new deal at Fleetwood

ENGLAND UNDER-17 keeper Billy Crellin has signed a new deal at Fleetwood - to keep him away from Premier League big guns.

The 17-year-old was being watched by Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton after being part of England's youth team winning the World Cup in India.

But he will stay in League One after agreeing fresh terms to stay at Highbury Stadium until 2020.

Crellin wants to compete for senior football soon rather than move to the top-flight to be part of their Academy set-up.

The Fleetwood-born goalkeeper was the first ever player to be called up into an England development team.

And Prem clubs are likely to keep tracking his progress despite his new two-and-a-half year deal.
