Man City attacker Kayky leaves club on loan

Young Manchester City talent Kayky has joined Portuguese side Pacos de Ferreira on a season-long loan.

City signed Kayky from Brazilian side Fluminense for an initial fee of £9m last summer, with the then-17-year-old viewed as a long-term prospect.

The Brazilian youth international made 13 appearances for the EDS last season, scoring six goals and assisting a further four as City successfully defended their Premier League 2 title.

Pep Guardiola handed Kayky his senior City debut in January during an FA Cup win at Swindon Town, and he made his first Premier League appearance as a late substitute in the 4-0 defeat of Norwich in February.

Kayky was included in City's squad for the pre-season tour of the US, coming off the bench towards the end of the 2-1 defeat of Club America in Houston.

Now 19, the winger will spend the 2022/23 season in the Portuguese top flight. Pacos Ferreira finished in 11th in the table last season, but were the division's second lowest scorers with just 29 goals in 34 games. Kayky will look to change that and continue his development over the coming campaign.
