La Liga newcomers Girona have made their latest loan signing from Manchester City, securing striker Olarenwaju Kayode until the end of the season.

Girona 6/4 to beat or draw with Atletico

City brought in the 24-year-old Nigeria international for a reported £3.5 million from Austria Wien on Thursday.

Although the Premier League side have not officially announced the deal, Girona confirmed on Friday they had taken him on loan – adding to a City contingent of Pablo Maffeo, Aleix Garcia, Marlos Moreno and Douglas Luiz at Montilivi.

Kayode was the top scorer in the Austrian Bundesliga with 17 goals last season as Wien finished as runners-up behind champions Red Bull Salzburg.

Girona play their first La Liga game at home to Atletico Madrid on Saturday, having concluded their pre-season preparations with a 1-0 win over City in midweek.
