Ederson Moraes: Manchester City sign goalkeeper from Benfica for £35m

Manchester City have signed goalkeeper Ederson Moraes for £35m from Benfica.

The 23-year-old broke into the Benfica team last March, playing 37 games, and won the Portuguese league this season.

"I like everything about Manchester City," said Ederson, who will join the Premier League club when the transfer window opens on 1 July.

"With Pep Guardiola, City are growing more and more. He's putting in place a young team for the future. Those were important factors in my decision."

He added: "I have always had the dream to play in English football and now I'm going to make it true.
