Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted with their deal for Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

City have confirmed the signing of Bravo on a four-year deal for a fee of £17.1million.

Bravo said: “I'm very proud to be joining Manchester City. I know the Club is building something very special and I hope I can be part of many successes in the coming years.

“I have followed City's progress in recent years and obviously know some of my new team-mates from the Copa America.

“Now I will challenge the other great goalkeepers the Club has and together I hope we can win many trophies.
