OFFICIAL: Manchester City sign Marlos Moreno

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of young Colombia international Marlos Moreno, the club announced on Saturday. 

The 19-year-old forward arrives at the Etihad Stadium from Atletico Nacional and has signed a five-year deal. 

Moreno, though, will immediately join Deportivo La Coruna on loan, and will remain with the Spanish side until the end of the 2016-17 season. 

“City are one of the best clubs in the world," the teenager told the club's official website. 

"It will be nice to experience being part of such a big club. I want to make the most of it. 

“Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world. I think he likes young players very much and he can improve young players tactically and technically.

"It will be great to work with him and to be part of a great team.” 

Moreno becomes City's seventh signing of the summer, following the acquisitions of Leroy Sane, Ilkay Gundogan, Nolito, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus and Aaron Mooy.
