Manchester City have completed the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fernandinho.
The 28-year old Brazilian joins City on a five-year deal for an initial transfer fee of £30million.
"This is a change, a challenge and a chance that I have been waiting a long time for. Playing in the Premier League for City is like a dream," he told the club's official website.
"My ambition here is to win all the titles, the team here is strong, and so is the greatness of the club and the supporters. Professionally this is a spectacular thing.
"Playing for a huge club in a huge league makes me so happy. I hope I will be able to repay City for what they have done for me.
"I know I will face challenges but I am prepared for them. Every player at a high level faces pressure and must respond and I am ready for that too. I know a lot about City. Ever since they expressed an interest in me, I have been learning more."
Fernandinho heads to the Etihad Stadium having won six Ukrainian titles with Shakhtar and competing in the Champions League for the better part of the last decade.
