Manchester City have signed Spanish left-back Sergio Gomez on a four year deal marking their fourth signing of the summer.

The Spanish Under-21 international is joining the boys in blue for a fee of 13m euros (£11m) plus add-ons.

It has been announced that the youngster will wear the number 21 shirt.

A product of La Masia, the defender came up through the Barcelona Academy before moving to Borussia Dortmund in 2018.

Gomez then spent two years on loan with Huesca, helping them to win promotion to La Liga in his first season there.

In the summer of 2021, the Spaniard caught the eye of former City captain Vincent Kompany who brought him to RSC Anderlecht on a permanent deal, transforming him into a left-back after previously operating as an attacking midfielder.

Sergio Gomez said: “I am incredibly proud and happy to have joined Manchester City.

“City are the best team in England and in Pep Guardiola I have a chance to learn and develop under the most outstanding manager in world football.

“To be able to be part of this club is a dream come true for me and something any young player would aspire to.

“The number of trophies City have won over the past few years has been incredible and the style of football the team plays under Pep is the most exciting in Europe. Playing for and being guided by Pep and his coaches is going to be very special.

“I’ve heard so much about the City fans and how passionate they are, so I can’t wait to get started and to try and help the Club achieve even more.”

Director of Football Txiki Begiristain added: “We are delighted to be able to welcome Sergio to Manchester City. He is a very exciting young talent.

“Sergio’s development in recent seasons has been very impressive - he is an accomplished defender with great potential
