Manchester City have signed 20-year-old midfielder Maximo Perrone from Argentinian club Velez Sarsfield.
The Premier League champions have announced the Argentina Under-20 international has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract.
City have agreed to pay a fee of around £8m for the player.
Perrone is currently playing at the South American Under-20 Championship in Colombia and will link up with his new club after the tournament ends.
He will train with Pep Guardiola’s first-team squad for the remainder of the season but has been signed with an eye on the future and is not expected to be involved this term.
