Manchester City confirm capture of Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht for £11m plus add-ons, with boss Pep Guardiola hoping he can make an instant impact at the Etihad

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht to add to Pep Guardiola's full-back options.

Gomez joins the Premier League champions in an £11million switch plus add-ons to provide competition for places, having agreed a four-year deal at the Etihad Stadium.

Throughout the summer the 21-year-old has been a target for City and was initially earmarked as a development player who could be sent out on loan.

Gomez has arrived at Manchester City having previously impressed at Belgian side Anderlecht

However, following the failed pursuit of Brighton's Marc Cucurella - who departed for Chelsea - as well as Wovles' Rayan Ait-Nouri and Borussia Dortmund's Raphael Guerreiro, it is now felt at the club that Gomez could actually make his mark at the Etihad Stadium this term.
