Manchester City have signed 18-year-old Turkish striker Enes Unal from Bursaspor for an undisclosed fee.

Unal, who has played once for Turkey, scored four times in 37 games as Bursa finished sixth in the Super Lig last season.

He made his full international debut against Luxembourg in March, having previously scored 24 goals in 25 games for Turkey Under-16s.

In 2013, at 16, he became the youngest goalscorer in the Turkish top flight.

Obviously one for the future for them but I always wonder how these young players get work permits when they are from outside the EU??

Turkey is in the EU these days I thought from about 2006 ?

No, they are still only classed as a Potential Candidate Country but not currently a member. Not sure if that gives them any rights though.
