Fernandinho has completed his "dream" move to Manchester City.
The Brazilian midfielder has switched from Shakhtar Donetsk for a fee the Ukrainian club have reported as £34million.

"Playing in the Premier League for City is a dream. My ambition here is to win all the titles, the team here is strong, and so is the greatness of the club and the supporters.
"Professionally, this is a spectacular thing. Playing for a huge club in a huge league makes me so happy.”
