"I was a City fan when I was a kid," Gomez told the club's website.

"When we were kids, my brother used to support City. He's the main reason I became a fan as well.

"Once he was on a school trip to London and I asked him to bring a David Silva shirt.

"At that time, he was wearing the No.21 shirt and he was my favourite player because I used to play in his position when I was a kid.

"I feel very proud that I can wear his number, like Ferran Torres did here.

"I think it's very nice that another Spanish player takes the No.21 shirt and I will give my best wearing it."
