‘Hell of a signing. Welcome Ferran’ – Fans react as Man City sign Torres from Valencia for £25m

Manchester City have completed the signing of 20-year-old winger Ferran Torres from Valencia.

The Spaniard has signed a five-year contract which will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2025 in a deal worth a reported £37m.

“I am so happy to be joining City. Every player wants to be involved in attacking teams and Manchester City are one of the most attacking in world football,” Torres told the club’s official website.

“Pep [Guardiola] encourages a really open, aggressive style, which I love, and he is a manager with a proven track record of improving players. To have him overseeing my development is a dream.

“City have won plenty of trophies in the last 10 years and I hope I can play a role in continuing that success.”

Director of football Txiki Begiristain added: “We have followed Ferran’s progress closely and have been very impressed.

The Spain Under-21 international will provide Guardiola with another option out wide following the departure of Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich.

In reaction to the report shared on the official twitter account of Manchester City, fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.

FINALLY. Been waiting all day for this. Welcome to the club Ferran!
