But who exactly is City's new signing? Here is all you need to know about the teenager.
Manchester City confirmed the signing of England prospect Patrick Roberts from Fulham on Sunday morning.
The basics

Right-wing sensation Roberts has featured on many FA highlight reel videos, with his tricky footwork and clinical finishing making him a stand-out performer for the national team.
