According to Daily Mail, City are set to win the race to sign the teenage defender Oware from Ghanaian top-flight side West Africa Football Academy.

The Etihad club are expected to beat Barcelona, Arsenal, Salzburg and Lille to the 18-year-old, with Oware now only waiting on international clearance before completing his move. The City Football Group will pay €1million (£840,000).

The youngster is expected to be immediately loaned to City’s sister club Troyes in Ligue 1 due to the fact Oware would not be eligible to play in England due to the strict points system for overseas players imposed by the FA.
