New York City confirmed the move through the director of football Claudio Reyna saying who stated that “Frank is a star and it is no surprise that Manchester City is rewarded by his contributions on the field every single day.


“He is eager to get to New York once his commitment ends in England and will be available to play on arrival as a permanent member of the squad given he will come to us having played at the highest level.

“We are all committed to making sure we build a winning team and that our fans get to enjoy great soccer at every single game.

“The opportunities open in the immediate transfer window combined with our recent successful draft ensure that we can continue to assemble a world class team that will make New York City soccer fans proud.”
