Key points

• Manchester City signs Palmeiras winger Allan.
• Manchester City plan to sign Palmeiras winger Allan for 40 million euros, which will strengthen their squad.
• Manchester City are adding a winger that will give absolutely everything for his team - Yahoo Sports.

Last week it was revealed that Manchester City were closing in on the signing of Palmeiras' hard-working winger Allan. The Brazilian winger excels in one-on-one situations and is ready to give everything possible for the team. City have to work on strengthening Enzo Maresca's squad this week as they sell a number of players to make room for new signings.

It has now been reported that a verbal agreement has been reached between Manchester City and Palmeiras which will see Allen join the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders. Famous football journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Manchester City and Palmeiras have agreed a deal for the signing of Allan. Furthermore, Romano reported that City would pay 40 million euros (£34.2 million) plus some additional fees to sign Allan. Finally, Romano added that the necessary documents to complete the deal are being exchanged between the two clubs and that Allen will soon become a City player.

Manchester City has added Allen to its squad. Savinho's potential transfer to Tottenham means City are in need of another winger, preferably one who can play on the right wing. Ellen fulfills this need. Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira explains why City wanted to sign Allan and what he will contribute to Enzo Maresca's squad. After the Palmeiras defeated Vasco da Gama, Ferreira explained in a statement to ESPN Brazil why Manchester City were so quick to sign Allan. He praised Allen's efficiency and said that Allen is a complete winger. He said, "These teams want players like Allen because he does what 90% of wingers can't: play attacking and defensive play on the edge for 90 minutes."

"European clubs don't buy players who only attack. So when a player comes who can defend on the flanks all the time, play at right back, move out into the back three and come inside and combine, everyone wants players like that."

Manchester City have made their second signing to their squad this week as they signed midfielder Ayoub Bouaddi from Lille. Allen will come in and add another option on the right wing for Enzo Maresca. City's squad is being assembled at what looks set to be a busy final week of the transfer window.

What will happen next

Now, an exchange of documents is underway between Manchester City and Palmeiras, making Allan's move to City almost certain. City fans are now looking forward to the performances of Allan, who will be part of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup-winning side. The signing of Allan would strengthen City's wing position, especially with Savinho's potential transfer to Tottenham looming.
