What was meant to be a transfer ‘on the verge of happening’ has dragged on and on, but Olarenwaju Kayode to Amiens is still a deal that could happen on Wednesday.
According to RMC Sport in France, the negotiations taking the Manchester City striker, who spent the first half of the season on loan at Girona, were put on hold while the Premier League side sorted the arrival of Aymeric Laporte.
Now that the French defender has officially signed, Pep Guardiola’s side are now able to focus on exits, including that of the Nigerian.
The initial deal remains the same, meaning it would be a loan with a potential view to buy come the end of the season.
The Ligue 1 side are said to be hopeful of concluding the deal today after weeks of work.
Although he didn’t score any goals for the La Liga side earlier this season, the Nigeria international is a very capable striker, showing his talent for finding the back of the net at Austria Vienna, scoring 37 goals in 85 appearances, as well as picking up 18 assists.
