PSV Eindhoven have completed the signing of Manchester City goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson for an undisclosed fee.

Isaksson has agreed a four-year contract with the Dutch champions and will replace the Tottenham-bound Heurelho Gomes as PSV's No.1

He passed a medical on Wednesday and the Sweden international is relishing the opportunity of a fresh start in Dutch football.

"I am looking forward to it, it feels good to be here," Isaksson told the club's official website.

Great club

"Hopefully, I can enjoy a very nice time. PSV is a great club with a big sponsor, Philips.

"It's a stable club which has achieved good results in recent years, both domestically and in Europe.

"Gomes is a great goalkeeper. I will give everything to PSV."

Isaksson made just 20 first-team appearances for City after joining the club from Rennes in a £2million deal in the summer of 2006.

He lost out to Joe Hart to be City's first-choice keeper last season and also turned down a move during the January transfer window.
