Carlos Tevez agrees to join Manchester City on five-year deal



Manchester City have reached an agreement with Carlos Tevez over a proposed move to the City of Manchester Stadium.

The club have agreed personal terms with the 25-year-old, who spent the last two seasons at rivals Manchester United, and the deal has been ratified by the Premier League and the Football Association.

The Argentina striker will now have a medical in Manchester after which he is expected to sign a five-year deal before joining his team-mates for a pre-season tour of South Africa.

"It is terrific news," City manager Mark Hughes told the official club website. "Carlos is an international player of the highest class who possesses all the attributes that will help drive this club forward.

"He is not only outstanding technically but he is a reliable goal scorer and someone who will contribute fully to the team ethic. He gives us another exciting, attacking dimension.

"I cannot wait to welcome him to City. This is yet another deal that shows the commitment of the owner Sheikh Mansour to make this club the very best it can possibly be. I am sure our fans will give Carlos an exceptionally warm welcome."

Once Tevez completes his transfer he will wear the No32 shirt at Manchester City.
