‘What City have achieved in the last two years has been amazing and I’m looking forward to being part of such a talented squad,’ he said.

‘It’s not just the titles they have won, but the way they have managed it, playing attacking football at all times.

‘It’s a style that excites me, as do the Club’s ambitions. I can’t wait to start working with Pep Guardiola and my new team-mates and hopefully we can achieve great things together.’
