Benjani Seals City Move - Report

Mon 04 Feb, 08:09 PM


Benjani has reportedly sealed his move from Portsmouth to Manchester City.

The Zimbabwe striker has been left in limbo after a switch to the City of Manchester Stadium failed to go through on transfer deadline day.

Portsmouth had agreed to sell their top scorer to City after sealing a deal to bring in Jermain Defoe from Tottenham Hotspur.

However, Benjani's move did not appear to be concluded before the closure of the transfer window, prompting an investigation from the Premier League.

Officials have been looking into the paperwork and it now seems the green light has been given for the deal to be ratified.

City boss Sven Goran Eriksson admitted on Monday that he expected the issue to be resolved by Tuesday at the latest.

City have now tied up the loose ends which prevented Benjani from securing his move last week, according to Sky Sports News.
