Alvaro Negredo is expecting Manchester City to play an exciting brand of football under new boss Manuel Pellegrini.
Excel
While tipping Pellegrini to be a success in England, Negredo is confident that he too can shine in the Premier League - with the 27-year-old having opened his goal account for City in a 2-1 Audi Cup defeat to Bayern Munich.
He added: "I am happy to be called an English-style centre forward. I like that type, the tall, strong player who is good in the air, and I like being seen as that kind of player.
"That is one of the main reasons I came here. In Spain people always said I would excel in the English league, so I hope that is the case.
"It was good to get my first goal against Bayern, it is just a shame that it didn't count for anything. But as a striker it is always good to get started and score a goal - I hope that my next goals mean something."
