McAidoo, who has impressed with his performances for the England U16 and U17 national teams, will now be making the move to the Etihad Stadium to join the Premier League champions.

The transfer represents a significant coup for Manchester City, who have managed to fend off competition from their title rivals to secure the signing of one of the most promising young attacking talents in English football. This move will bolster City’s squad depth and provide them with an exciting prospect for the future.
While the details of the transfer fee and contract have not been disclosed, it is clear that Manchester City have pulled off a major transfer victory, beating out Arsenal and Liverpool to land the Chelsea forward.
