Manchester City sign Nolito: £13.8m Spain star reunited with Pep Guardiola after agreeing four-year deal at the Etihad
Blues boss will work again with ex-Barcelona forward who becomes his third official signing as new manager
NOLITO has signed a four-year deal at Manchester City.
The £13.8million Spain forward will be reunited with boss Pep Guardiola after being together at Barcelona.
Nolito, part of the side dumped out of Euro 2016 by Italy, moves from Celta Vigo, where he scored 39 goals in 103 appearances.
City confirmed the 29-year-old - Guardiola's third signing - will wear the No 9 shirt next season.
He said: "I'll do everything the manager asks of me, try my absolute best and do everything I can to repeat the form I've shown throughout my various clubs.
