He scored one goal in four substitute appearances as Espanyol were relegated from La Liga last season.

Koleosho, who was part of the Italy squad that won the Under-19 European Championship this summer, has agreed a four-year deal.

"As soon as I got the call from the coach (Vincent Kompany), I knew I wanted to come here," he said.
