Txiki Begiristain has taken an active role in helping Kayky adapt to English football this season, academy coach Brian Barry-Murphy has revealed.
Kayky, 18, signed for Manchester City for an initial £8.6million in the summer from Fluminese in a deal that could rise to £21million. The initial plan was for the winger to arrive in Manchester in January, but that timeframe was brought forward and he arrived in the autumn. He has been a regular face in first team training under Pep Guardiola, has featured 17 times for the academy, and already made two senior appearances.
With the U23 season now finished, Kayky will help his senior teammates prepare for their Premier League and Champions League run-ins, and look to make an impression ahead of next season. Speaking after the U23's final day thrashing of Leeds, Barry-Murphy said City are happy with his integration into the club.
