MANCHESTER CITY have completed a £47million deal to sign Matheus Nunes from Wolves.
Pep Guardiola has been chasing a midfielder after missing out on West Ham star Lucas Paqueta.

City have left it late but they have managed to secure Nunes on deadline day.
The Portuguese has signed a five-year deal and becomes the club’s fourth summer signing.
Nunes said upon the announcement of his transfer: “I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the Champions of Europe and a club
I’ve admired for a long time.
“The opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest managers ever, and alongside some of the best players in the world was something I simply couldn’t turn down.
“I learned so much during my season at Wolves and I’m excited to continue improving in the Premier League, a division which brings the best out of me. I’m really excited to get going, meet the fans and hopefully be a part of plenty more success at City.”
Nunes, 25, only joined Wolves from Sporting Lisbon last summer but he refused to train in an effort to force a move through.
Wolves are set to replace Nunes by signing Tommy Doyle on loan from City, whose deal will include a £5m option to buy.
Should they trigger this option, City will then have a huge 50 per cent sell-on clause in any future sale for the midfielder.

Wolves will pay Doyle’s entire salary during the loan.
The Citizens have also agreed to a deadline day sale of Cole Palmer, who has joined Chelsea for £42.5m.
