Manchester City has taken their spending on full backs this summer up to £133 million 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 £52 million 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”.
