Manchester City have announced the signing of German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan from Borussia Dortmund for an undisclosed fee. The 25-year-old has inked a four-year deal with the Etihad outfit.
Gundogan is likely to be sidelined until Christmas after he suffered a bad knee injury during the back end of last season.
"I'm thrilled to have signed for Manchester City," he told the club's official website. "When I learned of City's interest my heart was set on coming here and things have moved very quickly.
"Now I have a new challenge and that is to achieve great things with City. The opportunity to work with a coach like Pep Guardiola is something I am really looking forward to and I am flattered to be the first signing the club has made this summer."
The player won the Bundesliga title and the German Cup during his five-year stay at BVB.
