“I am extremely proud and happy to be joining Manchester City,” said Gomez, who represents Spain under the age of 21.

“The number of titles that City have won over the years is astounding and the style of play under Pep is the most exciting in Europe.
“Playing and being coached by Pep and his coaches will be special.”
Gomez is Man City’s fourth summer signing after Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega.
He is set to compete for a left-back spot following the departure of Oleksandr Zinchenko arrive Arsenal and aborted attempt to sign Marc Cucurella are from Brighton and Guardiola says he is likely to be the last to arrive ahead of time.
“If no one moves, I think no one will come,” the City manager said at a press conference last week.
“Now I have the feeling that if we have a problem with Kyle [Walker] and Joao [Cancelo] We have players who can replace them. That’s why Sergio came. Even Nathan [Ake] can play there [at left-back].
“We don’t have a big squad but we have some players who play in different positions quite well. That’s why the moment we decided on Sergio, the debate about a left-back was. another ended.”
