Report: Genk to loan Manchester City striker Enes Unal

Manchester City are to allow new signing Enes Unal to join Belgian side Genk on loan, according to reports.

City signed the 18-year-old in a £2m deal from Bursaspor earlier this summer but fear that he is unlikely to get a work permit. The Turkish international has won one cap with the national side and it is reportedly doubtful that he will fill the criteria for a permit under new FA rules.

According to ESPN, the club are ready to send him out on loan until he qualifies and Genk have already agreed a deal.

It is believed that Unal has impressed City during their tour of Australia and could be a star at the Etihad in the future.

Back in 2013, Unal became the youngest player ever to score in the Turkish Super Lig after scoring against Galatasaray at 16.
