Manchester
City have taken their spending on full backs this summer up to £133million
after completing the signing of Benjamin Mendy from Monaco.
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'.
