Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Spanish striker Alvaro Negredo from Sevilla.
The 27-year-old, who has 14 Spain caps and six international goals, follows Jesús Navas in arriving from the Spanish club.
A statement on the club's website said: "City are delighted to announce the signing of Alvaro Negredo, who becomes the club's third new recruit of the summer."
The deal follows news that Fiorentina have reached an agreement to sell the Montenegrin striker Stevan Jovetic to City. The 23-year-old has scored 35 league goals in five seasons with Fiorentina, who finished fourth in Serie A last season, and it appears City's lengthy pursuit of the versatile forward has come to fruition.
A statement on the Italian club's official Twitter account, @ACF_Fiorentina, read: "An agreement has been reached with Manchester City Football Club for the permanent sale of the player Stevan Jovetic."
