Man City sign Mangala From fc porto

Manchester City have signed defender Eliaquim
Mangala from Porto for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old France international is City's sixth
signing of the summer, following the capture of
Bacary Sagna, Willy Caballero, Bruno Zuculini,
Frank Lampard and Mangala's former Porto team-
mate Fernando.
The centre-back told Manchester City's official
website: “City is a top club in Europe. For me, it
was an important step to leave Porto and join
Manchester City in order to continue my progress.
"I want to win titles and I believe I can do this. I
am ambitious and this is why I am here.
“I’m very happy to come to England because, for
me, the Premier League is the best league in the
world.
"It is a very intense and very aggressive
competition. There are plenty of goals, so it is also
really nice to watch and I can’t wait to get
started.
“The fact that Fernando is here is better because
I played with him at Porto but there is also other
players that I know like Sagna, (Gael) Clichy and
(Samir) Nasri."
City boss Manuel Pellegrini added: “I’m delighted
to have added a player of Eliaquim’s quality in
the squad ahead of the new season.
“He is already a fine player but in my opinion, he
has all of the mental, physical, technical and
tactical attributes to become one of Europe’s very
best defenders.
“Eliaquim is a player I believe will make an
immediate impact in the Premier League, thanks
to his physicality, his reading of the game and
quality on the ball.
“I think he will prove to be a great signing for us.”
Mangala made 92 appearances for Porto after
joining from Belgian club Standard Liege in August
2011 and won the Portuguese title twice with the
club in 2011/12 and 2012/13.
