The French
defender is the third full back to join the club this summer following the
captures of Kyle Walker and Danilo.
The France
international joins Pep Guardiola's side in a £52m deal after flying out to Los
Angeles to undergo a medical and join his new team-mates on their tour of
America on Sunday.
The
23-year-old has signed a five-year deal and will wear the No 22 shirt at the
Etihad Stadium.
He is primed
to make his debut for his new side in Wednesday's pre-season friendly with Real
Madrid in LA.
Speaking to
the club's website, Mendy admitted: 'I am absolutely delighted to be joining
Manchester City.
“They are
one of Europe's leading clubs and in Pep Guardiola they have a manager
committed to playing attacking football. I am sure that over the next few years
we will be successful.”
The left
back tweeted himself that it was: 'a dream come true to play under Pep's
orders'.
