FC Twente have snapped up Manchester City midfielder Luka Ilic.

The 21 year-old Serb moves to Twente on a season-long loan and is expected in Holland next week to complete the switch. Ilic has already had two seasons on-loan in Holland with NAC Breda.

"I am really looking forward to this step," Ilic told the club's website. "When FC Twente recently approached I had no doubts, a proud feeling that a great club like FC Twente came forward.

"I have known the club since the time that Dusan Tadic played there, I was still young and the matches were live in Serbia on television. Last year at NAC I also heard a lot about FC Twente from Nacho.

"In the past few weeks I followed the matches live on the internet and had nice conversations with the trainer. Next week I hope to join the group, I am really looking forward to it."
