Manchester City midfielder Yangel Herrera has joined New York City FC in Major League Soccer on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old Venezuelan, only moved to the Premier League club on British transfer deadline day on Jan. 31. He was expected to be then sent on loan to one of team's sister clubs in the City Football Group.
Herrera won his first cap for Venezuela in October before captaining his country to third place at the South American Under-20 Championships earlier this year.
The former Atletico Venezuela player is looking forward to playing under New York coach Patrick Vieira when the MLS season kicks off in March.
