Home » Sparta rents Brazilian talent Kayky from Manchester City August 26, 2024 – 20:15
Brazilian Kayky is a Sparta Rotterdam player this season. The 21-year-old right winger is on loan from Manchester City for one season.
Kayky started playing football at Fluminense, where he also met Metinho. He not only played together with his compatriot, but also lived in the same house. Kayky eventually went through the Fluminense youth academy and played 33 matches for the first team. The right winger then left for Manchester City for ten million euros, where Kayky also made his debut. In both the Premier League and the FA Cup, Kayky came on as a substitute in one match. For Manchester City U23 and in the Youth League, there were more minutes for the winger.
Nevertheless, the youth international left for Portugal after thirteen matches with six goals and four assists. Kayky was loaned to Pacos Ferreira and last season to EC Bahia in his home country. At that Brazilian club Kayky eventually played 28 matches, after which he suffered a serious knee injury almost a year ago. The Brazilian is still recovering from that and will be fully available after the international break in October.
Technical Director Gerard Nijkamp is happy to welcome Kayky to Sparta. “We have been looking at Kayky for some time and have always kept in touch during his rehabilitation period. His play before his injury made us decide to rent Kayky for one season, because we are convinced that he will strengthen our team when he is fully available again. The fact that we have to wait a few more weeks for that is not a problem.”
