Manchester City are closing on the £11million sale of striker Lukas Nmecha to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Vincent Kompany's Anderlecht where he scored an impressive 21 goals in 41 games and the Belgians were keen to re-sign him.
However, his performances increased competition for his signature and Kompany warned: 'Everyone here is a fan of him. We made him better this season and he made us better. Don’t expect a gift from Manchester City. The people at that club are smart.'
Indeed, Red Bull Leipzig were considered frontrunners for his signature but Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg are the ones now close to reaching agreement with City over an £11.
