Manchester City announce plans to build a multi-million pound academy centre next to the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City have unveiled plans for a new multi-million pound academy training complex.

The 80 acre site, which would be located adjacent to the Etihad Stadium, would be the home for City's youth teams.

The plans include on-site accommodation for 72 players, class room facilities, 16 pitches and a brand new 7,000 all-seater stadium solely for the academy players.

"This could be the most important investment the club has ever made under its new ownership," said Brian Marwood, the club's chief football operations officer.

"We know that youth development has to be at the heart of this club. Investment in the transfer market has helped us reach a certain level, to stay there will take investment in player development, welfare and top-class facilities.

"While new signings were making the headlines there were changes behind the scenes even in the early days."

Marwood also confirmed that an overall cost for the project has yet to be clarified.
