Manchester City makes late Reijnders signing in time for Club World Cup

London, June 12 (UNI) Manchester City completed the club's fourth signing of the summer with

the announcement that Dutch international midfielder Tijjani Reijnders has joined from AC Milan.

Reijnders costs 46.5 million pounds (63 million U.S. dollars) and has agreed a five-year deal.

The 26-year-old arrives soon after City completed the signing of Rayan Cherki from Olympique

Lyon, and the club insists he will be able to play in the forthcoming FIFA Club World Cup, although the announcement of his arrival was made after the transfer window closed on Tuesday evening.

City coach Pep Guardiola has also seen left back Rayan Ait Nouri and goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli added to his squad in a busy start to the summer.

"I am ecstatic to be signing for Manchester City: City are one of the biggest teams in the world, with the best coach, world-class players and outstanding facilities," said Reijnders on the club website on Wednesday.

"Under Pep Guardiola, City have won so many titles and I want to help keep that going with a lot more success in the coming years," added the player who has already won 22 caps for the Netherlands.

With the signings of Reijnders and Cherki, Guardiola will hope to have covered the departure of

Kevin de Bruyne, while Ait Nouri should give balance at left back after arriving from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
