Nigel de Jong joins City from Hamburg

Manchester
City Football Club are delighted to announce that the signing of Nigel
de Jong from Hamburg SV for an undisclosed fee has been completed.

The
24-year-old Dutch midfielder with 29 international caps inked in
a four-and-a-half year contract after agreeing personal terms and
passing a medical earlier today.

De Jong, who played against City
in the pre-season friendly at the HSV Nordbank Arena in July, joined
Hamburg from Ajax in 2006 and was a team-mate of City’s summer signing
Vincent Kompany.

Nigel becomes the Blues' second signing of the
week following the arrival of Craig Bellamy, and along with the former
Hammer, de Jong's squad number is yet to be confirmed.
