Benfica goalkeeper Ederson in England today for Man City deal

Benfica goalkeeper Ederson is in England today to complete a world record move to Manchester City.

Sky Sports says he is flying into Manchester today for talks with City over a £43m switch.

The Brazilian will then have a medical tomorrow before sealing the world record deal.

The 23-year-old was also targeted by rivals Manchester United, but Pep Guardiola has swooped first to make sure he has a number one ready for the new season.

The mega-money move would make Ederson the most expensive goalkeeper of all time, following Gianluigi Buffon £32m switch to Juventus.

Despite the huge cash involved, the youngster has still yet to make a full appearance for the Brazilian national team.
