Done Deal: Man City sign Australia Midfielder Daniel Arzani from Melbourne City
The Iran-born 19-year-old is highly rated and won the A-League's
young player of the season award in 2017-18.
City, who are parent club to Melbourne, say that Arzani will be
sent out on loan "to progress his career".
He is
expected to join Celtic as one of two or three signings
Bhoys manager Brendan Rodgers hopes to make before the transfer window closes.
City Football Group's managing director of global football,
Brian Marwood, told the club's official website: "In a short period of
time, Daniel has developed into one of Australia's brightest young stars and
has demonstrated the drive and raw talent required for success at the highest
level.
"This pathway was first forged by Aaron Mooy just two years
ago, and we are all delighted to see another Australian-grown talent make this move."
City
signed Mooy from Melbourne in 2016 and
six days later he joined Huddersfield on loan, before the 27-year-old
midfielder made a permanent move after helping
the Terriers win promotion to the Premier League in 2017.
Arzani, who has five caps, became the youngest player to make a
World Cup appearance for Australia when he played as a substitute in their
group matches against France, Denmark and Peru this summer
