Dedryck Boyata joining FC Twente on loan?

Manchester City full-back Dedryck Boyata is poised to join FC Twente on loan, according to reports.

The 21-year-old has found first-team football hard to come by at the Etihad Stadium since the arrival of Roberto Mancini in 2009.

Boyata spent last season on loan with Bolton Wanderers, where he made 17 appearances, and Sky Sports News reports that Steve McClaren has secured his services for the rest of this season.

The Belgian joined City as a youth player in 2006 and has played 23 times for the club.
