Manchester City announced yesterday the signing of goalkeeper Willy Caballero from Malaga on a three-year contract.

The 32-year-old Argentinian has moved for an undisclosed fee in a switch that sees him reunited with City boss Manuel Pellegrini.

The pair previously worked together at Malaga after Pellegrini signed Caballero for the Spanish outfit in 2011.

Premier League champions City have been looking for a new goalkeeper to provide competition for first-choice stopper Joe Hart following Costel Pantilimon’s release at the end of last season.

Caballero is City’s third new signing of the summer, with midfielder Fernando and full-back Bacary Sagna the other arrivals.

Caballero told mcfc.co.uk: “I am very happy, and really looking forward to the start of pre-season and performing well to help the team.

“This is a new challenge and a new league for me. I have been doing well in the previous years and my goal is to go on and hopefully perform at the same level for City.”

Caballero is determined to push Hart for the starting spot.

“I know I am coming to a big club with a very good goalkeeper,” Caballero said.

“City already have a great goalkeeper in Joe Hart, but I will try and compete for the number one spot. I will do my best in the training sessions.”
