Man City striker Negredo explains his goal celebration...

Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo has explained the secret behind his goal celebration.

Negredo kisses a CJR tattoo on his right wrist every time he scores - a tribute to his parents and brothers.

He said: "It's a dedication to the hours of effort my mum and dad put in over the years. Imagine three brothers and the washing from all the football kits.

"Football was in our blood. We never tried to play any other sport. It's funny, I have always liked the number nine, even as a number, but I have the physique for that position.

"And I guess I fit the description of what would be a classic No.9. The big English centre-forward - that really suits me.

"The aim is to make City into a successful club. We have quality in the squad and the best way of growing is by winning trophies."
