Young Manchester City footballer, 20, on £25,000 a week splashes out on £2.25million mansion despite having never started a Premier League match

A Manchester City youngster, who has never started a Premier League match, has splashed out on a £2.25million mansion.

Tosin Adarabioyo, who last year negotiated a £25,000-a-week contract after threatening to leave, is the new owner of a six-bedroom home in Knutsford, Cheshire.

The 20-year-old defender has made just seven appearances for the club in the cup games and the Champions League - but has never featured in the English Premier League.

Last night, he was an unused substitute in City's 2-1 win over Bristol City in the Carabao Cup.
