Manchester City midfielder Aleix Garcia is delighted with his move to Girona.

Garcia has signed on a season-long loan with the Primera Division new boys.

"I will try to have a great season to help Girona to reach its goals. We are facing an exciting season that may be important and we can give a surprise this year," he said.

Garcia admits Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola had a big say on his decision.

"He told me that the option to come here was a good opportunity to continue growing."
