DONE DEAL: De Bruyne completes big-money move from Wolfsburg to Man City

Manchester City completed the signing of Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg on Sunday.


The 24-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder has joined City on a six-year deal for a reported transfer fee of £54.5million.

The Sky Blues were in pursuit of De Bruyne for the entire summer transfer window and have now managed to snaffle the services of the former Chelsea man who becomes the second most expensive signing in British football.

After putting to paper, De Bruyne told the club's official website: "I want to reach the highest level possible as a player and I think the most important thing is that at the end of the season we can be happy and maybe have some titles.

"I think this is the most important for the Club, the players and for the fans of course."
