Man City to sign Eliaquim Mangala

Manchester City are reportedly set to complete the signing of Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala, following an agreement over the transfer fee between the clubs.

The talented centre-back has been constantly linked with a switch to the Premier League, with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City interested in his services.

City failed in a last ditch attempt to land the 23-year-old's signature during the winter transfer window, but according to Goal.com, the Premier League champions have now settled on a fee close to £31.8m with Porto for the French defender.

Mangala looks set to be unveiled as the newest member of Manuel Pellegrini's squad in the upcoming week.
