City to snap up Pole
By Adam Marshall - Created on 9 Feb 2006
Skysports.com can reveal that Manchester City are closing in on the signing of Gornik Zabrze youngster Pawel Krol.
The Polish defender was also wanted by Widzew Lodz but City have had the 18-year-old on trial and Stuart Pearce is keen to wrap up a deal.
Krol is already excited at the prospect of heading for Eastlands as he looks to make a name for himself in England.
After gaining experience with Katowice, he has made seven appearances for Gornik this term.
"I will start in the reserve squad of Manchester City," he told the press in his homeland.
"But it's only one step from the first team and, from there, it's The Premiership.
"That would be the realisation of my dreams."
It is believed that City will have to pay a compensation fee to Gornik because of Krol's age and, as the transfer deadline has passed, he may not actually link up on a full-time basis with his new team-mates until the summer
