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.

Donyoh becomes the second Ghanaian player signed by the Ittihad Stadium side after the signing of defender Dominic Oduro who has been loaned to Danish side AGF.

    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.
