Nedum Onuoha is set to pledge his future to Manchester City Football Club.

The England Under-21 international has been in excellent form for the Blues this season since muscling his way into Mark Hughes’s starting eleven.

The Nigerian-born 22-year-old has featured 13 times in the Premier League this term, and is a long-term target for Newcastle United.

However, Onuoha is said to be refusing to contemplate the possibility of a move to St James Park, and will instead look to sign a new contract with City.

These are exciting times at the mega-rich Eastlands club, and their number four is determined to play a key role in their future.
