Benjamin Mendy has revealed that he had his heart set on Manchester City as soon as the season ended in Monaco.

The left-back finalised his move to the Etihad Stadium on Monday in a deal thought to be worth £49.4m.

Mendy has insisted that he can easily adapt to manager Pep Guardiola's system and is confident of success at the North-West outfit.

"I think I am the right person for the group. I am easily adaptable," the 23-year-old Frenchman told the club's official website. "There are some players with whom I exchanged a few emails, [as] I knew them from some years ago.

"I can bring a lot of creativity in the game, I can offer different solutions, I like to take to play as full-back and provide assists for the strikers. I am very proud of joining Manchester City, this is what I wanted from the very beginning.

"As soon as the championship was over, I talked to my family and it was all clear in my head, I wanted to join Manchester City. I'm really happy about it. Since I was a kid it was a dream to play in the Premier League and I will do everything I can to enjoy every minute of it."

City's spending has surpassed £200m with the arrivals of Bernardo Silva, Ederson, Kyle Walker, Danilo and Mendy.
