Nigerian defender Tosin Adarabioyo, 18, has been promoted fully to the first team of Manchester City, having impressed manager Pep Guardiola during pre-season training.

Manchester Evening News has reported that the central defender is among the five youngsters added to the first team roster.

His only competitive appearance in the new season came against Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League playoffs, where he lasted 30 minutes on the Etihad Stadium turf after replacing Three Lions starlet John Stones.

On August 5, 2015, City announced via official sources that Kelechi Iheanacho has been promoted to the first team and he repaid the faith shown in him by netting 8 goals in the Premier League.

Manchester-born Tosin Adarabioyo joined the Citizens when he was five years old.
