Manchester City have confirmed the capture of Nery Castillo from Shakhtar Donetsk on a year-long loan deal.
The Mexico forward only signed for the Ukrainian outfit in the summer in a
lucrative £15million deal from Olympiacos, but after failing to impress he will
now join Sven-Goran Eriksson's squad in January.
The 23-year-old netted four goals in his country's Copa America campaign
earlier this year and is considered a bright prospect.
City chief executive Alistair Mackintosh said: 'Nery Castillo's desire to
make this deal happen has been extraordinary.
'He has made a significant financial contribution in order to complete this
move by paying most of the loan fee himself. This proves how much he wants to
play for Manchester City in the Premier League.
'We are excited and delighted that another young established international
has joined the football club.'
