Defender agrees three-year contract at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City have confirmed that they will sign France international right-back Bacary Sagna on a free transfer from Arsenal this summer.
Sagna had been continually linked with a move to the Premier League champions, who have now agreed a three-year contract with the 31-year-old.
He will join up with his new teammates after France’s World Cup campaign, which will begin with Sunday’s Group E game against Honduras in Porto Alegre.
Sagna represented Arsenal 284 times, after joining the Gunners from Auxerre in 2007.
He won just one trophy with Arsenal – helping the North London club end their nine-year silverware drought by beating Hull City 3-2 after extra time in May’s FA Cup final at Wembley.
Sagna, who has been capped 41 times at senior international level, will wear the number three shirt for City – just as he did for Arsenal.
A statement on Arsenal’s official website read: “Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to thank Bacary for his fantastic contribution, and wish him all the best for the future.”
