Man City confirm Angelino has re-signed for Blues from PSV Eindhoven

Manchester City have confirmed they have re-signed defender Angelino from PSV Eindhoven.

The 22-year-old has penned a four-year contract at the Etihad.

Angelino said: "I am thrilled to have rejoined 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 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."

City, who sold the Spain Under-21 star to PSV for £5m, are understood to have paid £5.35m to exercise their buy-back clause and take him back. Hewill provide competition for Alex Zinchenko and Benjamin Mendy at left-back.

Angelino moved to City from Deportivo in 2013, joining the academy. He progresed through to the Under-18s and Under-23s with City.

He also enjoyed a productive loan spell at New York City FC in 2015 and made his Blues debut the following year in a 4-0 FA Cup victory over Aston Villa.

Angelino came on as a substitute for City in their 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest in August 2016 and made his first start in a 2-1 League Cup victory over Swansea. He then went out on loan to Girona and Real Mallorca before spending the 2017-18 campaign with NAC Breda in the Netherlands.

After switching to PSV, he made 34 appearances last season, scoring one goal and laying on 10 assists.

He featured in all six of the Dutch side's Champions League group games against Barcelona, Tottenham and Inter Milan.

City director of football Txiki Begiristain added: “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.”
