Manchester City are set to sign Nigerian international striker Olarenwaju Kayode – nicknamed 'Larry'.
City plan to loan the forward to newly-promoted La Liga club Girona, who they face on Tuesday in a friendly in Spain.
Pep Guardiola let another Nigeria striker, Kelechi Iheanacho , join Leicester for £25million, but are poised to recruit his 24-year-old compatriot.
Kayode, who will sign a four-year contract, scored 24 goals in 48 matches for Austria Vienna last season and finished top scorer in Austria’s top flight with 17 in 33 games.

The forward will become the fifth City player to be loaned to Girona, following striker Douglas Luiz, defender Pablo Maffeo, midfielder Aleix Garcia and winger Marlos Moreno.
Kayode's wife posted on social media a picture of her husband at City's training ground at the weekend before taking it down. City have yet to confirm the deal.
