Man City Reportedly Close to Signing Austria Vienna Striker Before Sending Him on Loan

Manchester City have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Austria Vienna striker Olarenwaju Kayode, and are set to send him on a season-long loan to Spanish outfit Girona immediately.

The 24-year-old put on some impressive displays last season, finishing as the top scorer in Austria's top flight with 17 goals in 33 games during the campaign. And having previously been linked with a move to Newcastle United, Sky Sports report that City will soon snap up the deal for Kayode.

City are yet to officially announce the signing, and the fee is currently undisclosed, but the Nigerian international will join four other City players - Douglas Luiz, Pablo Maffeo, Aleix Garcia and Marlos Moreno - in spending a year with newly promoted La Liga side Girona.
