Report: Manchester City edging closer to signing Kayky in £21m deal

According to a report from The Sun, Manchester City are close to sealing the signing of young Brazilian starlet, Kayky, in a deal worth around £21.5m.

Kayky, 17, is the latest young samba star to come off the famed production line at Fluminese. As expected, Kayky has already draw comparisons to PSG and current Brazil star, Neymar.

City manager Pep Guardiola has apparently been after the young winger for some time now. And it appears he is about to get his man, with the Sun claiming a deal worth up to £21.5m is all but wrapped up for Kayky.

The signing represents another show of dominance from City in the market. And in the post-brexit world of football, it could prove a smart move by City chiefs in the long-term.

Kayky will be seen a long-term project at City. However, much like Gabriel Jesus has done, he will be hoping to work his way into the first-team and put himself firmly in the thoughts of Guardiola.

TBR View: City stocking up on talent and Kayky looks a class act

City have often been chastised for their big spending on already established players so it’s nice to see them going for young up and comers.

Kayky, if the reports are to be believed, is certainly some talent. A lot of Brazilian players get the Neymar and Ronaldo comparisons, but in fairness, the 17-year-old does look the business.

This is a good move from City and one which should them maintain their position as one of the world’s most attractive clubs.
