Manchester City have completed the British record £32.5million signing of Robinho with just minutes to go in the transfer window.

He has signed a four-year contract at the City of Manchester Stadium.

Manager Mark Hughes told the club's official website tonight: 'I am absolutely delighted to get the opportunity to work with such an incredible talent like Robinho. I have said that in order to compete with the best teams in the Premier League we have to be in the market for players of this calibre, and Robinho is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world.

'I am really looking forward to introducing him to the rest of the squad, and to the City fans at the earliest opportunity. This is a real statement of intent as to the ambitions of Manchester City Football Club.

Robinho will be in line to make his City debut against, of all clubs, Chelsea after the international break.
