Manchester City are signing former PSG midfielder Claudio Gomes today.

The Manchester Evening News says Gomes officially becomes a City player today.

Gomes, who is celebrating his 18th birthday, is being snapped up on a free transfer from Paris St Germain after his contract with the French club expired at the end of June.

The defensive midfielder has been training with City's first-team squad in America but the Premier League champions decided to wait for his 18th birthday to avoid the bureaucracy that goes with signing a European player under that age.

"He has been so good, so good," said City manager Pep Guardiola. “My opinion is that at that age you have to play. You need minutes, if not with us then with the second team.

“But it could be like what happened with Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz - he could stay with us, because from what we have seen in these days, the impression is good, so good."
