Manchester City has signed 18-year-old Ghanaian Mohammed Abu, who will now go on loan to Norwegian side Stromsgodset until the end of June 2011.

A dynamic, tough-tackling midfielder, Abu recently trained at the Academy and played for the Elite Development side in three pre-season games. He was spotted by the club's recruitment network playing for Sporting Club Accra, having been developed by their Right To Dream academy.

Stromsgodset's sporting director is former Norway and Sheffield United striker Jostein Flo, and Abu will now play for the Norwegian Premier League club in the town of Drammen, just outside Olso.

Is the loan due to work permit issues?

 

[BlueSinclair]

I know we can loan players to Belgium for these reasons but i dont know about Norway. If thats the case dont they have to spend 3 years there which would mean he would be 21 by the time hes back here.

They have to spend 3 years in order to get a passport I believe, however if he becomes a regular international for Ghana then the work permit is easier to obtain so a 3 year wait isn't necessary.
