Manchester City are set to complete a deal for Argentine defender Nicolas Otamendi in the coming hours.

The Valencia centre-back will join the Premier League side on a five-year deal after impressing in La Liga last season.

Otamendi, who has 25 caps for Argentina, is expected to cost City around £31million, but a considerable portion of that will be written off as Valencia still owe City over the signing of striker Alvaro Negredo.
