Same with Onyekuru!

The issues many here ignore is money and work permit. City offered the most money but does he meet the requirements for a work permit yet? Like Onyekuru, I do not think he does. Hence the deal and the loan.

Manchester City are set to sign Nigeria international Olarenwaju Kayode from Austria Vienna on a four-year deal and send him on a season-long loan to Spanish side Girona.

The 24-year-old striker finished as the top scorer in Austria's top flight last season with 17 goals in 33 games.

Kayode had been linked with a move to Newcastle United.

Four other City players are to spend the 2017-18 season at newly-promoted La Liga side Girona.

Brazilian £10.7million midfielder Douglas Luiz, right-back Pablo Maffeo, midfielder Aleix Garcia and Colombian winger Marlos Moreno have all signed loan deals with the Spanish club.

City are yet to officially announce the deal for Kayode.

He scored 24 goals in 48 matches for Vienna last season, including two goals in two games against Roma in the Europa League.

Kayode, who has also played for ASEC Mimosas in the Ivory Coast, FC Luzern in Switzerland Maccabi Netanya in Isreal. He represented Nigeria at the 2009 and 2011 Under-17 and Under-20 World Cups respectively.

He made his debut for Nigeria in a friendly against Senegal in March and has three caps for the three-time African Champions.

Easy...he should have joined Chelsea, Bavaria, Man U, Barca, Real, etc, and demanded a starting slot and guaranteed minutes. Or simple play for FC Abuja...

Don't you know that on the CE, players use mouth to join teams and guarantee playing time?

Manchester City have signed Nigeria striker Olarenwaju Kayode from Austria Vienna on a four year deal and have immediately loaned him out to Spanish side Girona.

The 24-year-old finished as the top scorer in Austria's top flight last season with 17 goals in 33 games.

Kayode, who was also reportedly linked with a move to Newcastle United, opted for City and moves to the newly promoted La Liga outfit Girona where four other City players are to spend the 2017/18 season.

The striker scored 24 goals in all 48 matches for Austria Vienna last season, including two goals in two games against AS Roma in the Europa League.

In total he produced 37 goals and created 18 assists in 85 appearances for Austria Vienna during his two-year spell at the club.

Kayode, who has also played in the Ivory Coast (ASEC Mimosas), Switzerland (FC Luzern) and Israel (Maccabi Netanya), represented Nigeria at the 2009 and 2011 Fifa U-17 and U-20 World Cups respectively.

He made his debut for Nigeria in a friendly against Senegal in March and has three caps for the three-time African Champions.

It seems strange that a player who was top scorer in a decent league like the Austrian league would be bought and loaned out to a side that will be struggling in LA Liga this season.
Other players who have been top performers in lesser leagues have been signed by premiership clubs to start in their first team... Mane, the French player in Huddersfield, Ideye a couple of years ago at WBA etc.
I think he should have gone to Newcastle who are desperate for more attacking options. He would have a better profile playing in the EPl than for an outfit like Girona. scoring 10 goals in the EPL will grow his value more than scoring 20 La Liga.
