Manchester City have agreed to sign Austria Vienna striker Olarenwaju Kayode for £3.5million but will loan him immediately to FC Girona.

The 24-year-old Nigeria international had also been a target for Burnley and Newcastle United.

But they would have had to pay more to ensure he gained a work permit to play in this country this season, as he just two caps to date.

Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign Olarenwaju Kayode from Austria Vienna for £3.5m

Kayode scored 17 goals in 33 games last season for Vienna and 30 in 67 appearances over two seasons.

He will become City's seventh signing of a summer that has seen Bernardo Silva, Ederson, Kyle Walker, Danilo, Benjamin Mendy and Douglas Luiz move to the Etihad Stadium for a combined total of almost £222m.

City play Girona in a friendly this week, with Celtic target Patrick Roberts expected to play.

Fit-again Ilkay Gundogan and Fabian Delph are also in the squad.

Meanwhile, City have turned down an approach from Galatasaray to take Jason Denayer on loan.

City want around £9m for the Belgian centre back.
