Pep Guardiola spent big in January as City saw the Premier League title start to slip from their grasp. The Cityzens, after a record-breaking run of four successive top-flight triumphs, ultimately surrendered that crown to Liverpool, but are now splashing the cash again. Wolves defender Ait-Nouri has become the club's latest addition and has signed a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium.

He told the club's official website: "I am incredibly happy and honoured to have joined Manchester City. City are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the chance to play for the club is a dream come true. I am also excited about working with and learning from Pep and his coaching team and getting to train and play alongside such a world class group of players. Joining City is also a very proud moment for my family too. Now I can’t wait to get started and to play in front of our supporters.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Ait-Nouri will bring useful Premier League experience with him to Manchester, having spent the last five seasons with Wolves – taking in 157 appearances and scoring 12 goals for the men from Molineux.
