Manchester City land 'new Zlatan Ibrahimovic'

Manchester City agree a deal with Malmo for teenage striker Zacharias Faour.

Manchester City have continued their summer spending by agreeing a deal with Malmo for teenage striker Zacharias Faour.

The 15-year-old, who has been dubbed the 'new Zlatan Ibrahimovic', attracted a host of interest following his performances in his club's youth team last season.

However, City have secured the signing of the striker, despite strong interest from Real Madrid and Juventus.

"City rank him as one of the best in the world at his age level. He is the kind of player that all of the big teams are after," the player's agent Hasan Cetinkaya told Sportbladet.

"City take very few on, but they bring in the best players from Europe and South America. They don't take on as many players as Chelsea. They take the best players and the club will pay plenty to get them."

City have already signed Fernandinho and Jesus Navas this summer.
