Manchester City confirmed on Tuesday that they had agreed a deal with FC Twente for anchorman Matt Smith to join the Dutch side on loan next season and fans can’t believe the deal has gone through. The holding midfielder is highly-rated by supporters on both sides and could flourish if he’s given first-team football in 2018/19.
Really pleased for you Matt. @fctwente are a great club and I'm sure you'll learn loads over there. Let's hope you can help them push for promotion this season.

Wow our loss is FC Twente's gain
Enjoy the experience and grab every opportunity with both hands— mark smith (@smidycent) July 3, 2018
With FC Twente having been relegated from the Eredivisie last season, Smith will be playing his trade in the Dutch second division – a level many believe he’s already better than.
