English side Manchester City have signed Ghanaian youth striker Godsway Donyoh from the Right to Dream Academy on transfer deadline day, the club have announced.
Donyoh, 18, has immediately been sent on loan to Swedish Allsvenskan league side Djurgårdens IF.
The young striker whose striking potentials have been praised by City’s youth talent developers, has been training with the Swedish side’s first-team and it’s now been confirmed that the decision has been taken for him to continue his footballing education in the Allsvenskan league.
Djurgårdens manager Magnus Pehrsson expressed his delight with the signing.
“The combination that Donyoh is a talented player who fits into our style of play and that Manchester City believes in him makes him an interesting addition to our squad,” he said.

Bribery scandal slurs Ghana
win over Niger
Thursday 31st January, 2013
Port Elizabeth, Jan. 31, GNA –
Ghana’s 3-0 win over Niger at the
ongoing 2013 Africa Cup of Nations
has been slurred by allegations of
bribery against Niger defender,
Koffi Dankwa.
The Stars convincingly beat the
Mena 3-0 in their Group B
encounter last Monday at the
Nelson Bay Stadium in Port
Elizabeth, to seal their place at the
knockout stage, but the result has
come under scrutiny following the
relationship between Ghanaian-
born defender, Dankwa and some
members of the Ghana team in the
build-up to the game.
A reliable source within the Niger
team confirmed to GNA Sports that
Dankwa has been fingered for his
role in their ultimate Group B clash,
claiming the defender churned out
an ordinary display compared to
the previous games against Mali
and DR Congo.
According to the source, Dankwa, a
former player of Stay Cool
Professionals (now Zaytuna FC)
was in close contact with unnamed
persons within the Ghana team.
He said it has also emerged that the
24-year old, who resides in
Dansoman when on holidays in
Ghana, enjoyed a night out with
Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan
on the eve of the crucial match,
which the Mena needed to win
advance to the last eight.
The source further claimed the
central defender was offered 10
million CFA Francs (20,000 US
Dollars) by an unnamed official
linked to the Ghana team to play it
‘soft’ against the country of his
birth.
Dankwa, according to the source
allegedly made contacts with his
defensive partner Mohamed
Chicoto, in a bid to rope him in the
supposed deal, but the latter flatly
refused to join the plot to throw the
game to the Black Stars.
According to the source, the
Ghanaian-born defender was
summoned to a meeting by official
of the Niger Football Federation
(FENIFOOT), after the game as the
latter sought to fish out the root of
the allegations.
Attempts to contact officials of
FENIFOOT to respond to the
matter has proved fruitless as the
team left Port Elizabeth for
Johannesburg en route to Niamey
on Wednesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, efforts to reach officials
of the Ghana Football Association
(GFA) for their side of the story
proved futile.
GNA

MIND GAMES!!!
I BELIEVE SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE NEWS WHEN THERE
IS NO NEWS.WHEN GHANA LOST TO BRAZIL AT WC,BRIBERY

STORY MUST RETHINK. IF NIGER COULD ALLOW SUCH A FREE MOVEMENT TO THEIR PLAYERS,THEN THEY HAVE PROBLEMS THEMSELVES.
