Manchester City has announced the signing of Juma Bah, a talented young defender.
The Sierra Leone centre-back has joined the Citizens from Real Vallodolid, where he lasted only half a season after being signed from Sierra Leone club AIK Freetong.The teenager has signed his contract with the Etihad and will spend the rest of the season on loan at RC Lens, whom City already raided this month to recruit Abdukodir Khusanov.
Bah becomes Manchester City's fourth acquisition of the January transfer window, after Khusanov, Omar Marmoush, and Vitor Reis.
However, the deal has not been without controversy, with Valladolid threatening City with legal action over how they handled the transaction.

After a stint on loan, Bah formally joined the Spanish team earlier this month, but it has been alleged that he declined to practice when he found out City was interested in him.
