Angelino has rejoined Manchester City after Premier League champions triggered his buyback clause from PSV Eindhoven.

The left back has signed a four-year contract after just a season at PSV. Pep Guardiola believes the Spaniard will provide competition for Benjamin Mendy and Alex Zinchenko next term.

City director of Football Txiki Begiristain said: “Angelino is a hugely talented young player and is an accomplished defender with great potential.

“Over the past year, he has gained excellent experience playing in the Eredivisie and the Champions League with PSV Eindhoven.

“We’re sure that he will bring additional defensive quality to our squad.”

Angelino initially joined City’s academy in 2013, spending time on loan at New York City and NAC Breda, before joining PSV.

He said: “I am thrilled to have re-joined City, a side playing incredible football under Pep Guardiola.

“Watching them while playing in Holland has been a pleasure.“City’s performances over the last two seasons have been incredible and I am very excited about returning and hopefully contributing to the club’s bid for more success.

“I believe my own game can develop under Pep’s management and I am very confident that the Club will go from strength to strength over the next few years.

“The style of football we play here excites me, and I am determined to win more silverware. City gives me the best chance of doing that.”
