Nolito flies to Manchester ahead of City move

Manchester City are closing in on a move for Nolito, with the striker arriving in Manchester to discuss personal terms with the club, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The highly-rated Celta Vigo and Spain star flew in to Manchester after his nation were knocked out of Euro 2016 on Monday night by Italy, and is expected to complete his medical within 24 hours.

Celta Vigo have allowed him to begin talks with the Citizes after they matched his €18 million release clause.

Should the move be completed, the 29-year-old will become Pep Guardiola's second signing at the Etihad Stadium, with the Catalan having  already brought in Ilkay Gundogan from Borussia Dortmund.
