Manchester City are close to completing a deal
for Nigerian striker Olarenwaju Kayode from
Austria Vienna, sources have told ESPN FC.

The 24-year-old, who was the top scorer in the
Austrian Bundesliga last season with 17 goals
from 33 appearances, is expected to sign a four-
year deal before being sent out on loan to
Spanish side Girona.



Kayode, who has played for the Nigeria national
team three times, can play wide as well as a
central striker.

He will be the fifth City player to join La Liga side
Girona this summer after Douglas Luiz, Pablo
Maffeo, Aleix Garcia and Marlos Moreno all signed
season-long loan deals.

City are currently in Spain for a four-day training
camp and will play a friendly against Girona on
Tuesday night.



Pep Guardiola has sent a full squad, though Kyle
Walker has been given permission to miss the
trip for personal reasons.

City have extra time off after their 2-0 opening
victory over Brighton with their next game of the
season against Everton not until next Monday
night.
