After yesterday’s back pages were awash with praise for Manchester City’s opening-day performance at Brighton, it’s back to transfer business this morning.

And according to BBC Sport, City are on the verge of landing Olarenwaju Kayode from Austria Vienna.

The Nigeria international is understood to be close to signing a four-year deal with the Club. 

BBC Sport’s Oluwashina Okeleji writes: “Manchester City are set to sign Nigeria international Olarenwaju Kayode from Austria Vienna on a four-year deal and send him on a season-long loan to Spanish side Girona.

“The 24-year-old striker finished as the top scorer in Austria’s top flight last season with 17 goals in 33 games.

“Kayode had been linked with a move to Newcastle United.

“Four other City players are to spend the 2017-18 season at newly-promoted La Liga side Girona.

“Brazilian £10.7million midfielder Douglas Luiz, right-back Pablo Maffeo, midfielder Aleix Garcia and Colombian winger Marlos Moreno have all signed loan deals with the Spanish club.

“City are yet to officially announce the deal for Kayode.

“He scored 24 goals in 48 matches for Vienna last season, including two goals in two games against Roma in the Europa League.”

Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez, the Arsenal forward who has been linked with a move to City all summer, is reportedly in talks with Paris Saint-Germain about a switch to the French capital.

The Sun’s Jake Lambourne writes: “Sanchez missed his side’s epic 4-3 win against Leicester City and will again be out of action against Stoke City next Saturday.

“He was in attendance at the Emirates on Friday night to watch his side grab a late winner against the Foxes with his partner Mayte Rodriguez.

“The ex-Udinese winger is being chased by Manchester City as well as Unai Emery’s side, but he has been offered a new £300,000-a-week deal to stay on with the FA Cup champions.

“PSG have already brought in Neymar to Ligue 1 from Barcelona in a world-record transfer fee of £198m, as they look to build a team capable of winning the Champions League.”
