Bacary Sagna has joined Manchester City on a free transfer from Premier League rivals Arsenal.
The defender has signed a three-year deal with the Premier League champions worth £150,000-per-week - inclusive of add-ons and bonuses.
As revealed exclusively by Sportsmail in May, the 31-year-old will officially join City on July 1 - ending his seven-year spell with the Gunners.
Sagna is a
hugely experienced defender, having represented Arsenal 213 times since
joining them from Auxerre in 2007. During that time he has picked up 41
caps for the French national side.
'France
are in Group E of the World Cup, alongside Switzerland, Ecuador and
Honduras. They begin their World Cup campaign against Honduras on
Saturday.
'Sagna
will join up with his new team-mates for the first time after the end
of the World Cup, when the squad take in their tour to America.'
'He will take up the vacant squad number 3, the same number he wore for the Gunners.'
Sagna becomes the latest Gunner to move to City - following in the footsteps of Emmanuel Adebayor, Samir
Nasri, Kolo Toure and Gael Clichy.
