Manchester City to sign Turkish wonderkid Unal


Manuel Pellegrini's side have beaten away competition for the striker's signature from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, with an agreed fee potentially rising to £2 million
Manchester City have tied up a deal to sign 18-year-old Turkey international striker Enes Unal from Bursaspor.

The teenager has only scored four goals in 35 league games for the Turkish club but is seen as his country's most exciting young talent - with an astonishing record of 181 goals in 108 games for youth teams - and has already represented his nation at senior level. At 16 years, three months and 15 days, he also holds the record for the youngest goalscorer in the Super Ligue.

Unal had offers from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United as he entered the final year of his contract but opted for City, with Bursaspor president Recep Bolukbasi confirming the agreement on Thursday.

"We have an agreement with Manchester City," he told reporters. "Enes will go to England at the weekend to complete the transfer."

Manuel Pellegrini's side have set a fee that could rise to £2 million, as well as including a 10 per cent sell-on clause in Bursaspor's favour.

A work permit for Unal is yet to be confirmed and it is understood that the youngster would be loaned out for a year if one is not granted.
