Claudio Bravo joined Manchester City due to playing style and his role: 'I'm more than just the goalkeeper'

Claudio Bravo has revealed that he decided to move to Manchester City after finding out his role in Pep Guardiola's side.

Bravo's arrival at the Etihad this summer was tinged with controversy as it resulted in the exit of England international Joe Hart, who moved to Italian side Torino on loan.

Part of the reasoning behind Hart's departure and Bravo's signing was the fact that the Chilean stopper is more comfortable with the ball at his feet, which is a requirement in a Pep Guardiola side.
