Manchester City seem full of intent in the transfer market this summer but they had set their sights so high that we wondered whether they would end up being disappointed in their pursuits.
But, with Arda Turan joining Barcelona perhaps Manchester City have a chance of bringing Paul Pogba to the club this summer after all.
Sky Bet have recently slashed the odds of Pogba going City after they saw a flurry of bets on the move. The bookmaker now has Manchester City at odds of 8/15 to complete what would have to be one of the very best signings of the summer. Barcelona are way back in the running at 9/2, according to the bookie.
In other news Manchester City have signed a young genius, their first acquisition of the summer. Sky reports:
Manchester City have made their first signing of the summer in 18-year-old Enes Unal from Bursaspor, arriving at the Etihad Stadium for a fee believed to be £2million.
He’s basically a goal scoring sensation already. He’s been grabbing the headlines for the right reasons since hitting 182 goals in just 100 games for the Bursaspor reserve side. He’s followed that up with 24 in 25 for Turkey’s U16s – incredible statistics in any context. But he’s also been doing the business in the senior side with 7 goals in his several cameo appearances off the bench. He scored 2 minutes after coming on in one game to become the youngest ever scorer in the Turkish league.
Let’s take a look at the lad in action. Manchester City fans: are you confident that Pogba will come to the club?
