ABERDEEN have secured the loan signing of Manchester City’s Chidi Nwakali.
The defensive midfielder will join up with Derek McInnes and his squad, subject to international clearance, until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old has played at youth level for Nigeria and has spent time on loan in Spain at Girona and Norwegian side Sogndal.
The youngster is hoping to impress enough to earn a full international call up ahead of this year’s World Cup.

Boss McInnes told the Evening Express: “He is a player we have been looking at for quite a while and we are delighted to have him on board.
“I am sure he will prove to be a valuable addition.”

The Dons are currently in Dubai for a warm weather training camp, having flown out yesterday.
There was a slight faux pas from Dubai’s official media office, however, as they welcomed Aberdeen and other clubs heading to train in the area.
Dons fans were not too pleased at the inclusion of a picture of Ryan Jack, who is now a Rangers player, to represent them.
