Manchester City clinch signing of Kevin de Bruyne

by Staff

Manchester City have clinched the signing of Belgian attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg.

The 24-year-old former Chelsea player had been a prime transfer window target of City boss Manuel Pellegrini who can now integrate him into the Barclays Premier League leaders' squad.

De Bruyne has signed a six-year contract, his new club announced.

Pellegrini said on City's website: "We are very happy to have added Kevin to our team and I have no doubt that he will be a big success on his return to the Premier League."

The fee has not been announced but reports have suggested City may have gone as high as £58million with their offer, eclipsing the £49million club-record price paid for Raheem Sterling earlier in the summer.
