Ferran Torres completes Manchester City transfer on five-year deal

Manchester City have officially completed the signing of winger Ferran Torres.

The Spaniard, 20, has signed a five-year contract at Etihad Stadium after City agreed a deal worth €23million (£20.7m) plus add-ons with Valencia last week and says the opportunity to play under Pep Guardiola is a "dream".

“Pep encourages a really open, aggressive style, which I love, and he is a manager with a proven track record of improving players," Ferran said.

"To have him overseeing my development is a dream.

“City have won plenty of trophies in the last 10 years and I hope I can play a role in continuing that success.”

"We have followed Ferran's progress closely and have been very impressed," said director of football Txiki Begiristain.

"He is young and still developing, but his technical qualities are exactly what we are looking for in a winger. He is quick, direct, can create space with one movement and is capable of producing match-winning moments.

"I feel this is the perfect place for him to develop and take his game to the next level."
