New signing Vitor Reis has chosen to wear the No. 22 shirt after his move from Palmeiras was finalised on Tuesday.

The 19-year-old Brazilian youth international has made the move to the Etihad Stadium on a four-and-a-half-year contract.

The deal means he will remain a City player until at least the summer of 2029.

And we can now confirm the defender will wear the No. 22 shirt as he begins life in English football.

Perhaps the most the most distinguished former City No. 22 is Richard Dunne, an Irish centre-back who won the Club’s Player of the Season award an unprecedented four years in succession. He remains a regular guest on our Matchday Live show.

Other notable 22s include George Weah and Gael Clichy.

Former Ballon d’Or winner Weah briefly wore the shirt at the start of the 2000/01 season. The Liberian striker played nine matches for City, scoring four goals, before leaving the Club after just two months due to a disagreement with then-manager Joe Royle.

And French left-back Clichy won two Premier League titles and two League Cups wearing 22 during his successful six-year spell.
