Manchester City are reported to have clinched the signing of former Barcelona starlet Gai Assulin.
The 19-year-old Israel international - dubbed the ‘new Lionel Messi’ when he was coming through the ranks in Catalonia - is believed to be signing a four-year deal.
City were close to taking the midfielder in the summer but a knee injury delayed the deal.
Barcelona-based newspaper Sport reports that City are now satisfied with the youngster’s fitness and quality and will add him to their reserve squad.
Assulin underwent surgery on an injured knee last month. He visited Eastlands last week for a medical and was sent to a rehabilitation clinic to hasten his recovery. His Spanish citizenship means he will not need a work permit.
Assulin had been highly rated at the Nou Camp but saw chances diminish last season because of injury and the emergence of the likes of Pedro.
He was unable to reach agreement on a new contract and attracted wide interest once available on a free transfer.
