Manchester City signed on Nigeria international striker, Olarenwaju Kayode from Austria Vienna on a four-year deal but soon after sent him on a season-long loan to Spanish side Girona.
The 24-year-old striker finished as the top scorer in Austria's top flight last season with 17 goals in 33 games.
Kayode is now the fifth City player to join the Spanish club on a temporary loan.
Four other City players, Brazilian £10.7m midfielder Douglas Luiz, right-back Pablo Maffeo, midfielder Aleix Garcia and Colombian winger Marlos Moreno have all signed loan deals with the Spanish club and will spend the 2017-18 season at newly-promoted La Liga side Girona.
Man City have not made any official announcement, but Girona have officially confirmed the loan deal for Kayode,
He scored 24 goals in 48 matches for Vienna last season, including two goals in two games against Roma in the Europa League.
Kayode, who has also played for ASEC Mimosas in the Ivory Coast, FC Luzern in Switzerland Maccabi Netanya in Israel. He represented Nigeria at the 2009 and 2011 Under-17 and Under-20 World Cups respectively.
He was previously linked with Newcastle, but the deal obviously didnt go through.
