Sergio Gomez poses at the Etihad Stadium
Gomez has an impressive record at underage level for Spain

The signing of Gomez from Anderlecht was confirmed by Manchester City.

The fee for the 21-year-old is 13 million euro, plus add-ons.

Gomez was a player at the Belgian club under the captain of the city.

Gomez said it was a dream come true to be a part of the club.

I'm very happy that Manchester City is giving me the chance and I'm going to do my best on the pitch. We hope we can achieve great things together.

Gomez paid homage to the influence of Kompany on his career.

He said it was a pride to work with him from the beginning.

He was the captain of the team and I used to watch him when I was a kid. He was an example to everyone. It was an honor working with him and I'm very grateful to him for everything that happened at Anderlecht.

I spoke to him recently. I told him that I was considering moving to Manchester City and he was very happy for me. He said he was proud of me.

After losing out to Blues for the signing of Cucurella, City looked at left-sided alternatives.

Joao Cancelo is the only senior specialist left in the position, with Josh Wilson-Esbrand another possibility. Gomez was not going to be sent out on a loan, according to the manager.

Sergio's development in recent seasons has been very impressive, he is an accomplished defender with great potential."

He will bring additional quality to our squad both in defence and going forward, and he will only continue to improve under the guidance of his coaches.
