Aberdeen have signed Manchester City midfielder Chidiebere Nwakali on loan to the end of the season.

An Under-17 World Cup winner in 2013, Nwakali is a central holding player who scored four goals in 26 appearances for Sogndal in last year's Tippeligaen.

"Manchester City have been very keen for Chidi to get some competitive game time and it's a deal we've been working on for a couple of months now," manager Derek McInnes told the club website.

"I'm sure he will be a positive addition to our squad."

Nwakali's arrival is subject to a work permit.
