BEIRUT: Manchester City have signed Abdel-Ghani Ramadan to their famed youth development program the Academy, making the youngster the first Lebanese player to represent a Premier League club, local newspaper Al-Liwaa reported.

The 17-year-old from the coastal town of Barja immigrated to Belgium at a young age before his football talents saw him sign for Greater Manchester side Ashton United.

It was not long before Ramadan’s promising performances for Ashton caught the attention of Manchester City scouts, whose recommendations resulted in him joining the 2012 Premier League champions.

In an interview with Al-Liwaa, Ramadan expressed his delight at signing for a side of City’s caliber while maintaining that he one day hoped to forge a career in the European and international arena.

Ramadan added “it was a dream come true” to join City, attributing his move to hard work and dedication, which he believes could lead to a future role with the senior side.

The Barja native remains eligible to represent the Lebanese national team, an opportunity he relishes and will address once he has finished his studies in England.

The prospect of Ramadan featuring for Lebanon is an enticing one, and he would join a growing contingent of foreign-based players currently in Guissepe Giannini’s squad.

I work with a few people from Lebanon and they are the nicest people you could ever meet. So by association I really hope he does well. :-)
 
Is this for real, Manchester City sign player from 'Ashton United', why is it not all over the Ashton United website, in fact when you look at both their first team and youth players he is not mentioned, surely such a big coup for Ashton would warrant major publicity from them or is it like this

Honestly he looks abit chunky and not very skillfull :D
 
brilliant player played with me in my team, wish him the best. There is a few mistakes but the media always makes mistakes, its not the Manchester "ashton united" he plays for. its an sunday league team that was actually really poor,. I wish some team come and invest in us ...we dont have good kits its amateur team. But that's what scouts look for, for the poor teams because they are hungry for success. I wish him the best and hopefully he does not get any injuries. His usually called "abzz" and known for it right now.

If it's a genuine signing then good luck to the lad. I suppose he will be at a disadvantage early on because of the trainig facilities the other lads have had, but it will be bery interesting indeed to try & follow what happens with him & see if he can make it.

Cheers.
