Manchester City have
completed the signing of spanish winger Jesus Navas from Sevilla. The 27 year has been signed on a four-year contract in which City agreed to pay the Spanish club an initial
£14.9million. Sevilla announced last week that they had sanctioned Navas' sale
to the Barclays Premier League outfit , so the deal was expexted.
The transfer was completed
after Navas successfully underwent a medical in New York, where he is present
with his national team to play in a friendly match against the Republic of Ireland. Navas told the club's
website, mcfc.co.uk: "Manchester City is an exciting project and this is
the right moment for me to take this step. I'm very happy with the opportunity
and the decision.
'The Premier League is a
competition where the football is very fast and will suit the way I play. I'm
really looking forward to it.
'I'm going to a great
club in England and I want to continue developing my game there.
'The club has put a lot
of faith in me and I want to repay them out on the pitch.'
Manchester city have now
spent close to £45million following the capture of Brazilian midfielder
Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk last week.the next announcement expected by
the club is that Manuel Pellegrini is to take over as manager. When he was asked what type of life he expects in Manchester, he said: "I think I will be fine.
'I love what I do, which
is to play football. For me the most important thing is to be able to enjoy it
as much as possible because we have a great squad.'
