Bernardo Silva said he could not say no to Pep Guardiola after sealing his move to Manchester City from Monaco.
The Portugal international completed a transfer reportedly worth £43million on Friday, becoming City s first signing since their 2016-17 season came to an end.
Silva is excited about the upcoming experience of playing under Guardiola and thinks their link-up will lead to him winning major trophies during his stay in England.
If he is not the best coach in the world, he is one of the best, Silva, who will wear the number 20 shirt, told City s website.

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Bosnich is confident incoming manager Antonio Conte will be afforded the time to make his mark at Stamford Bridge.
Conte will take the Chelsea reins ahead of the 2016-17 Premier League season following Italy s Euro 2016 campaign, and arrives with a world-class pedigree.

Chelsea looked to be easing towards a third straight Premier League away win after Cesar Azpilicueta s early strike, failing to add to their lead but largely comfortable at the other end.
However, Jahanbakhsh leapt into an outstanding volley with six minutes of normal time remaining, and Frank Lampard s fourth-placed side were clinging on by full-time.

Masterful tactics, signing Kante and Moses´ reinvention: How Antonio Conte won Chelsea the Premier L
Antonio Conte has signed an improved two-year contract at Chelsea, with his squad in the early stages of preparations to try and emulate last season s excellence.
The Blues utterly dominated as Conte took a successful first swing at England s top flight, a streak of 13 wins on the spin late in 2016 sending them well clear of a chasing pack that spent most of the campaign tripping over each other.
But former Juventus and Italy boss Conte had to show his mettle before it became plain sailing, with a pivotal tactical alteration and shrewd management of a certain big dressing room ego the latter move now looking very much a means to an end laying vital foundations.
