Manchester City sign Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho from Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk for a fee of about £30m.

The 28-year-old Brazilian has signed a four-year deal, ending an eight-year stay with the Ukrainian side.

Fernandinho, who has five caps for Brazil, is City’s second summer signing after Sevilla’s Jesus Navas.

The Blues, who are still without a manager after Roberto Mancini left the club, are expected to appoint Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini next week.
