Touaizi is said to be an athletic striker with a good technique and a great eye for goal to boot, netting 70 goals in just two years at the club.
Guardiola and Co had also been looked at Touaizi's team-mate Kangin Lee, but opted for the Spanish youngster based on his prolific youth goal-scoring nature.
