Manchester City Signs Olarenwaju Kayode, Loans Him To Girona

Nigerian striker, Olarenwaju Kayode has been signed by Manchester City from Austria Vienna and also immediately loaned out by his new club to Girona. The 24-year-old becomes the fifth City player to join the Spanish club on a temporary deal for the coming season following Pablo Maffeo, Aleix Garcia, Marlos Moreno and £10million summer signing Douglas Luiz.

Kayode, who scored 37 goals in 85 matches in the Austrian Bundesliga, was previously linked with Newcastle. City has not made an official announcement but the Girona, who has been promoted to La Liga for this season, have confirmed the move. Manchester has developed a strong relationship with the Spanish club and the latest deal comes days after Pep Guardiola’s squad returned from a warm-weather training camp in the Catalan city.
