Manchester City are closing in on the signings of two highly rated Brazilian teenagers from Fluminense.
Kayky and Metinho, both 17, are set to complete moves to the club in the coming days for a combined cost of $12million (£9m).
Kayky, who has recently been linked with a move to Brazilian hotbed Shakhtar Donetsk, can play as a winger or an attacking midfielder and has drawn comparisons with Neymar.
