Manchester City have revealed new signing Sergio Gomez's squad number.

The 21 year-old has completed an initial £11 million transfer from RSC Anderlecht, with the fee potentially increasing to £16.9 million.

Gomez, who was apart of Vincent Kompany's Anderlecht squad last season, recorded 22 direct goal involvements for the Belgian based club.

The Spanish left-back scored seven goals and assisted on 15 occasions.

After seeing their hopes of signing Brighton full-back Marc Cucurella hampered due to the Seagulls' high demands, the Sky Blues have signed a new left-back following the departure of Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The Ukrainian ended a six-year stay at the Etihad Stadium last month, moving to Arsenal in a £30 million deal.

City have replaced the 25 year-old with Sergio Gomez, who was pictured at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

The Spain defender watched the Premier League Champions thrash newly promoted Bournemouth, as goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne helped the Blues to a comfortable 4-0 win.

Pep Guardiola confirmed on Friday that Gomez will remain with the Manchester City first-team squad for the 2022/23 campaign.

"He's for now, he will stay with us, the squad, alongside Joao [Cancelo], Josh [Wilson-Esbrand] and him for the left-backs, he'll stay with us," said the City manager.

The 21 year-old will wear the number 21 shirt for Manchester City, as confirmed by the club.

Gomez becomes the latest Spaniard to hold the squad number 21, made famous by legend David Silva.

Silva made 436 appearances for Manchester City, winning 13 trophies including four Premier League titles.

Ferran Torres was the previous holder of the 21 shirt, however the forward moved to Barcelona in January.

Speaking about wearing the number 21 shirt for the Sky Blues, Gomez said: "I think it’s very nice that another Spanish player takes the No.21 shirt [at Man City] and I will give my best wearing it."

Other previous wearers of the 21 shirt at City include Dietmar Hamann, Ronald Waterreus and Steve Lomas.
