Manchester City have announced the signing of French full back Benjamin Mendy from Monaco, taking the club’s spending on full backs this summer up to £133 million.

The 23-year-old has penned down a five-year contract to join the Citizens, who will reportedly pay £52 million for the defender’s services.

Mendy becomes third full back to join Pep Guardiola’s men this summer following the previous big-money captures of Kyle Walker from Tottenham and Danilo from Real Madrid.

Upon his arrival at the Etihad stadium, the France International said: “I am very proud. This is what I wanted from the very beginning. As soon as the championship was over, I talked to my family and it was all clear in my head: I wanted to join Manchester City.

“I think I am the right person for the group. I am easily adaptable. There are some players with whom I exchanged a few emails, I knew them from some years ago.

Proud to announce you guys that I've officially joined @ManCity today !!
