Manchester City have secured their fifth signing of the summer after it emerged that one of Europe's top young prospects will join the club on a free transfer.
It has been a busy start to the window for City, who began their summer spending spree with the signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves in a deal worth around £33 million.
Pep Guardiola's midfield options were then bolstered by the arrival of Kevin De Bruyne replacement Tijjani Reijnders, with the Netherlands international joining from AC Milan for a reported £46.5 million.

And a short time later, Marcus Bettinelli was brought in as a back-up goalkeeper before City completed arguably their biggest signing of the summer to date, when Rayan Cherki joined from Lyon for around £30 million.
Earlier this week, it was also reported that the Citizens have agreed a £12.5 million deal with Rosenborg to sign highly-rated attacking midfielder Sverre Nypan.
And it appears Nypan will be joined by another top prospect, after it emerged that 18-year-old forward Mahamadou Sangare will join from Paris Saint-Germain on a five-year contract.

Sangare, who scored 42 goals in 46 appearances for PSG under-19s last season, has penned his first professional contract with the Premier League outfit, with his five-year deal taking effect from July 1, according to RMC Sport.
He is already said to have passed a medical at the Etihad.
Sangare, who began training with Paris Saint-Germain's first team squad last December, never made a matchday squad under Luis Enrique, but clearly the French club rated him highly after they offered him a new deal.
After signing a youth contract with PSG in the summer of 2023, he ended his debut season with 32 goals to his name for their under-19s.

The teenager would later score a 17-minute hat-trick against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Youth League, as well as three goals in their 5-2 win over Bayern Munich.
Pep Guardiola believes their new signings will inject fresh energy ahead of the upcoming season.
"I'm going to lose people that I adore and they mean something, of course, but it happened in the past with many people," he told ESPN.

"In 15 years, a lot left, everyone cheated on me! But the new ones, younger people and new players, they always bring this energy and this energy revitalises a lot.
"I need energy for myself and the people give me energy. You see the eyes, new faces, 'I want to do it,' 'I want to be there,' new little details in the training sessions. It's new energy.
"Because energy for itself, the energy is one Premier League more, one Champions League more or one Community Shield more? It's not. It's not going to change my life one Premier League more or less in my period in Man City, it's not going to change anything.
"But the [new] people, they give you that [energy] day by day the people. That is the reason why changing players and staff is really good."
