Manchester City signing Metinho is on his way to Troyes.

The former Fluminense midfielder was signed by City's umbrella company, City Football Group, and will spend his first season in Europe with Troyes.

Indeed, Troyes have announced they have signed Metinho to a five-year contract.

The 18 year-old, however should he impress, will still find his way to City eventually.

Metinho was spotted playing for Flu's B team last year.
