Sergio Gomez says he has joined Manchester City to win trophies after finalising his move from Anderlecht.
Gomez, 21, ends City's search for a covering left-back following Aleks Zinchenko's move to Arsenal. The initial plan was for Gomez to be assessed and potentially sent out on loan, but Pep Guardiola decided to keep the Spaniard at the Etihad after deciding he would represent better value than returning to the transfer market for another senior left-back.
With seven goals and 15 assists for Vincent Kompany's Anderlecht side last season after being moved back from his natural attacking positions, Gomez can offer City a different option on the left. Upon completing his transfer, he said that he can improve City's offensive options from left-full-back, and has spoken about his ambitions to help the club continue to win silverware.

Gomez said: “It's a great step for me. I'm very happy that Manchester City is giving me the opportunity and I'm going to try to give my best on the pitch. Hopefully, we can achieve great things together.
“I have watched Manchester City a lot in the last few years, especially with Pep. They have achieved lots of success. It's true that the club hasn't managed to win the Champions League yet, but the team is performing really well and I hope I can contribute with my bit to help the team continue winning trophies.
“I love winning. We enjoy playing football, but we also enjoy winning. That's what we all want. I came to a winning club and that's my focus. I want to help my teammates, contribute to the team and I'm sure we will achieve great things.”
Gomez's versatility means he has played as a winger and an attacking midfielder,
