Man City plot move for 'Nigerian Neymar'

Manchester City are understood to be closing in on a deal to sign Nigerian Under-17 forward Musa Yahaya this month.

The talented player dubbed as the 'Nigerian Neymar' had an excellent stint with the national side during the U-17 World Cup, where he notched up four goals.


According to Goal, the Citizens are leading the race for Yahaya's signature during the transfer window, in spite of interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Valencia for his services.


Yahaya will be accompanied by fellow countrymate Kelechi Iheanacho, who agreed to join the club in October, having signed a pre-contract with the Manchester giants.
