Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is poised to capture Nigerian teenagers Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidi Nwakali.
The Blues will pay development compensation fees of around £270,000 each to Taye Academy and Shuttle Sports Academy respectively, says the Daily Star Sunday.
Striker Iheanacho, 17, signed a pre-contract with City in January and has now been granted a work permit ahead of his move.
Nwakali, 17, a versatile midfielder, is also comfortable in defence.
