Report: 22-year-old Man City player now close to sealing transfer move to Premier League club

Manchester City defender, Issa Kabore, is reportedly close to sealing a transfer move to newly promoted Premier League club Luton Town.

The 22-year-old recently completed his third loan spell away from the Manchester club as he spent last season with Marseille.

Now though, the youngster could be on his way out of the Etihad Stadium once again, this time for another temporary stint at a club quite closer to home.

Kabore close to Luton loan deal

According to a recent report from L’Equipe, the defender is close to joining Luton on loan as long as he gives the green light for the move.

City signed the Burkina Faso international back in the 2020 summer transfer window from Belgian club KV Mechelen.

Since then, the full-back has had loan spells back at his former club, as well as fellow City Football Group club FC Troyes and Marseille.

Last season saw the defender start 11 of the 29 games he played in for Marseille, chipping in with one goal which came during their 2-2 draw against Strasbourg in Ligue 1.

With a potential loan move to Luton on the table, this could be an ideal move for all parties if he’d be guaranteed regular playing time.

Specifically, it would help Luton strengthen their squad for their upcoming Premier League campaign, it’d help Kabore get the feel of what it’s like to play in the top flight and it would give City the chance to see how he fares in it and if he’s capable of potentially being part of their squad in the future.
