Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Brazil international Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk.

The 28-year-old has long been linked with the club and had spoken of his desire to make the move as speculation swirled.

Confirmation of the signing has come after Sevilla said earlier this week they had agreed a deal to sell Jesus Navas to City, although the Barclays Premier League club — still without a manager as they wait to confirm the arrival of Manuel Pellegrini — are yet to announce a deal for the Spain winger.
