Manchester City have signed young winger Filip Stevanovic from FK Partizan, the Serbian club have confirmed.

City have reported paid in the region of €8million (£7.2m) for the 18-year-old, who will join in January when the transfer window reopens.

An FK Partizan tweet said: "Partizan is pleased to announce the transfer of Filip Stevanovic to Manchester City in the winter transition period of 2021.

"The transfer of Filip Stevanovic to one of the largest European clubs is a significant confirmation of the good and hard work of all club structures."

Stevanovic predominantly plays on the left, both in the forward line or slightly further back in midfield.

The youngster was linked with a move to Manchester United during the summer but it is the Etihad where he will move this winter.

Partizan boss Andrea Stanojevic admitted last month that Stevanovic was expected to leave this season.

He told Espreso: "I would like Stevanovic to stay until the age of 23, but it will be difficult for him to welcome the next birthday at Partizan as things currently stand.
