The 16-year-old winger has attracted interest from several clubs including Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund as well as RB Leipzig before agreeing on terms with Pep Guardiola side.
According to The Sun claims that Edozie will put to pen and paper for Manchester City today for an initial fee of £600,000, with the deal could rise up to £2million depending on the Nigeria-born player’s progress.
