Manchester City have completed the signing of Spain international Nolito from Celta Vigo in a deal worth £14 million.
The 29-year-old, who will wear the No.9 shirt vacated by Alvaro Negredo, has signed a four-year deal with the club to become Pep Guardiola's second signing as City manager following Ilkay Gundogan.
Nolito, who has been strongly linked with Barcelona over the past 12 months, visited the club's training ground on Wednesday before jetting off on his summer holidays.

"I’ll try to bring as much as I possibly can," he said. "I’ll do everything that the manager asks of me, try my absolute best and do everything I can to try to repeat the form I’ve shown throughout my career at various clubs.
"It’s just about trying to play my normal game and let’s hope that I can help Manchester City to win games.
"I think that Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world. He knows a lot about the game and he’s going to help me progress as a player and I’m sure he’ll get the best out of me."
