Bojinov: Noticeable capture
Our signing of Valeri is another sign of the impact made by Dr Thaksin and Sven-Goran Eriksson. Valeri is an exciting young player and a great addition to the squad.
Manchester City's aggressive summer of recruitment has continued with the capture of Fiorentina striker Valeri Bojinov.
The talented Bulgarian, who spent last season on-loan at Juventus, arrives at Eastlands on a four-year deal - subject to a work permit - after passing a medical.
Bojinov becomes City's fourth signing in just two hectic days in Manchester and the indications are that Sven Goran Eriksson has not put his chequebook away just yet.
It is expected the former England chief will make further additions to his playing ranks before the close of the transfer window and City chief executive Alistair Mackintosh believes this latest capture is testimony to the Swede's pulling power.
"Our signing of Valeri is another sign of the impact made by Dr Thaksin and Sven-Goran Eriksson," he told the club's official website.
"Valeri is an exciting young player and a great addition to the squad."
