After failing to sign Mariga, who was snatched by Inter Milan, Manchester City closed a deal with winger Adam Johnson in an extremely late signing.
Tough competition expected for this youngster
City payed around £7 million for the former youth international player, who has a contract until 2014.
This signing was announced shortly after news that the Manchester Blues failed to sign Mariga from Parma, because he wasn’t able to get a work permit.
