Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Ilkay Gundogan from Borussia Dortmund.
The midfielder becomes the first signing under new boss Pep Guardiola - despite being out with a dislocated knee.
The deal was announced in slightly bizarre style on Twitter, with the player tweeting "ANNOUNCE GUNDOGAN" to City.
The club's account then responded with "Sounds like a plan... Let's do it!"
The 25-year-old has penned a four-year deal at the Etihad and declared himself delighted to have made the move to the Premier League.
