Ante Palaversa is undergoing a medical at Manchester City ahead of a permanent switch from Croatian side Hajduk Split, Sky Sports News understands.

Should everything be successful, the 18-year-old will sign a four-and-a-half-year contract and be loaned back to Hajduk Split until December 2019.

The holding midfielder is considered a player for the future and is likely to be loaned back out for the rest of the season for more games.
