Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has welcomed the addition of Rodri.

The Spaniard joined at the start of July to add defensive steel in midfield and his new team-mate thinks the youngster's attributes will make the Premier League champions even better this season.

“He's only just arrived but I hope he can improve our squad," said Bernardo.

“He had a fantastic season with Atletico and it's good to have a player in that position that we lacked. Fernandinho was the only one and then Gundogan was fantastic when he played there.

“It's good to have a more complete squad and I hope he can improve us even more."
