One of Turkish football's teenage geniuses is set for a move to the Etihad Stadium.

Bursaspor announced Thursday that they have reached an agreement in principle with Manchester City over 18-year-old striker Enes Unal, who will undergo a medical in the coming days and would be the first Turkish player to ever feature at City.

Although Unal made 19 substitute appearances in the Super Lig last season, his goal-scoring ratio at the youth level is what has turned heads across Europe, as he holds a remarkable 182 goals to his name through 110 appearances for Bursaspor's reserves.

If that isn't impressive enough, the teenager is also the youngest player to ever score in the Super Lig, doing so at only 16 years of age back in 2013.

According to the Guardian, Unal commands a fee of roughly £500,000.
