Man City set to win transfer race for Sierra Leone defender Juma Bah despite 18-year-old stalling approach from rivals

City hope their sales pitch of signing the 18-year-old from Real Valladolid and loaning him out for the next 18 months still appeals to the player.

Bah stalled on the move when Inter Milan, Lens and Fenerbahce made contact.

But City have been in for the teenager in a big way for the longest time of all suitors.
