Nir Biton

[Enjoying being a Blue]

Be interesting to see how this works out.

Is he good enough to get into our first team squad?

According to that article, a deal is very unlikely though.

his agent doesn't seem to think so

City are on the verge of wrapping up an initial loan, with a view to a £2million transfer, after Biton’s agent Dudu Dahan predicted he could secure a work permit and get him out of national service with the Israeli army.
Biton still has nine months to serve with the Israel Defence Forces, but Dahan said: ‘I have spoken to the Army’s top personnel, and that is almost solved. City say they can get a work permit for Nir as well, as there is a special category for outstanding prospects like him. I have been speaking with Mancini every day, since the trial, so how can I not be optimistic the transfer will be completed?’

Wouldn't his fellow countryman (Gai Assulin) be pushed down the pecking order? It seems a rather odd move to me.

From what I've heard, Gai is more of a Johson/Silva type while Nir is more of a (thin) Yaya.

And where is Gai, not seen him in the EDS recently? Is he injured again?

According to the latest training reports, he has returned to training again.

Ashdod's Nir Biton will not join #MCFC in January transfer window. Has request for work permit turned down. City to keep eye on progress.

So the FA deny us a work permit for another young player after McDonald Mariga.
