Manchester City have announced the signing of Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan on a £46.3m deal.
The Dutch midfielder has signed a five-year deal with the club, and after an impressive last season in Italy, where he registered more goals and assists than any Serie A midfielder.
He was a bright spark in a disappointing season for Milan, who only finished eighth in Serie A, missing out on qualification for Europe.
Eventually finishing outside the European spots proved costly for Milan with regard to Reijnders as the player left for greener pastures.
The 26-year-old midfielder is known for his creativity and racked up 15 goals in the recently concluded season.
Reijnders is being viewed as one of the replacements for Kevin De Bruyne, who has left City to join Napoli.
