The two clubs have agreed a compensation fee for the 18-year-old, who joined Latics four years ago following his release from Liverpool.

McGurk established himself as one of the brightest stars in the Academy, and scored the Latics goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford in a 2-1 FA Youth Cup defeat in January, 2020.

He was a member of the Under-18s squad that was crowned Professional Development League national champions two months ago.
