Manchester City have signed defender Eliaquim Mangala from FC Porto.

The centre back was at the World Cup in Brazil with France, though he didn’t make an appearance.

The 23-year old becomes the sixth signing of the summer after Willy Caballero, Fernando, Frank Lampard, Bacary Sagna and Bruno Zuculini.

He moves to the club in a five year deal.

Mangala says “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.

Meanwhile, City manager Manuel Pellegrini added: “I’m delighted to have added a player of Eliaquim’s quality in the squad ahead of the new season”.
