MANCHESTER City have announced the £46.3m signing of Tijjani Reijnders to wrap up a productive first transfer window of the summer.

The Dutch midfielder's move was announced yesterday morning after the window closed following his involvement on international duty.

It’s hoped the 26-year-old can strengthen a midfield that was overpowered too often last season, with Reijnders eyed up to have an immediate impact after being named as the best in his position in Serie A despite AC Milan not qualifying for Europe.

City could end up paying another £12.5m in additional payments, but are satisfied that if all the performance-related targets are triggered Reijnders will have justified their faith that he can be a world-class addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad.
