Manchester City Sign Jeremiah Adesina for Academy

Manchester City have signed Jeremiah Adesina as they aim to strengthen their youth team. Adesina will join the Premier League champions’ academy this season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Manchester City acted swiftly in the transfer market to secure Adesina, bringing in the talented forward from Benfica. Adesina will join City’s academy and might soon make an impact on their first team. City hope to integrate more young talent into their senior squad from the academy, with Adesina being a highly-regarded prospect from the Portuguese club.

WHY ADESINA JOINED CITY

Adesina earned plaudits from Portugal youth football legend Andre Milhazes after his strong performances for Benfica. At just 16 years old, Adesina had emerged as one of Portugal’s brightest young prospects. Despite interest from other clubs, the chance to join Manchester City was too tempting for the teenager to ignore. City, known for recruiting top young players from Europe and developing them, offered Adesina a platform to shine.

WHAT NEXT FOR ADESINA AND CITY?

Meanwhile, City are bracing for the January transfer window, with the possibility of spending big to seal sights for the title. They will face Leicester City in their next match on Sunday afternoon.

Manchester City finished third in the 2024-25 Premier League season and are actively looking to integrate more young talents into their squad.
