According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City midfielder Bruno Zuculini is poised to join Valencia on loan.

The 21-year-old, signed from Racing Club in a £3m deal last month, was expected to join Sunderland in a temporary move, but Financial Fair Play regulations prevent new arrivals from immediately moving on loan to another Premier League club.

Zuculini impressed on Manchester City's pre-season tours of Scotland and the USA where he etched himself firmly into the long-term plans of Manuel Pellegrini.
