Manchester City have announced the signing of Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

The 33-year-old has agreed a four-year deal to move to the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola's ninth recruit of the transfer window.

Having bolstered their midfield and attacking options with the acquisitions of Ilkay Gundogan, Nolito, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Aaron Mooy, Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Marlos Moreno, Bravo joins John Stones as part of Man City's rearguard for 2016/17.

“I’m very proud to be joining Manchester City," he said in an interview with mancity.com. "I know the Club is building something very special and I hope I can be part of many successes in the coming years."

Chile's most-capped international with 106 appearances to his name, ahead of Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez (101), Bravo moves to the Premier League after two seasons with Guardiola's former club Barcelona.

During his time at Barcelona he won back-to-back La Liga and Copa del Rey titles, as well as winning the UEFA Champions League.

This summer he starred as his country retained the Copa America, saving a penalty in a shootout victory over Argentina in the final.

He will be hoping to feature for the first time in a City shirt on Sunday when West Ham United visit the Etihad Stadium.
