Manchester City have completed the signing of Belgium international Kevin De Bruyne from Wolfsburg.
The 24-year-old arrived in Manchester on Saturday and successfully underwent a medical before putting pen to paper on a six-year deal to join City.
The deal to bring De Bruyne to City could rise to £58m.
"I want to reach the highest level possible as a player and I think the most important thing is that at the end of the season we can be happy and maybe have some titles," De Bruyne told the club's official website.
"I think this is the most important for the club, the players and for the fans of course.
He becomes manager Manuel Pellegrini's eighth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph, Nicolas Otamendi, Patrick Roberts, Enes Unal, David Faupala and Aleix Garcia at the Etihad Stadium.
"We are very happy to have added Kevin to our team and I have no doubt that he will be a big success on his return to the Premier League," Pellegrini said.
"It takes a special footballer to improve our squad and I have no doubt that Kevin is certainly one of those – he has all of the mental, physical, tactical and technical attributes required to fit straight in.
"We like to play attractive, attacking football and bringing in a player like De Bruyne will only aid us as we fight on four fronts."
De Bruyne began his career at Genk in his home country before completing a £6.7m move to Chelsea in January 2012.
