Former Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala is delighted with his move to Valencia.

Mangala has signed a two-year deal with Los Che.

"I really wanted to play again in Mestalla," said the defender.

"Here I have a support that values me a lot and the team always competes."

Mangala penned terms after "a day of tests", with Valencia putting him through a rigourous medical after 18 months of little first team action.
