Aug 30 (Reuters) - Manchester City ⁠have confirmed the signing of 22-year-old Brazilian winger ⁠Allan Elias from Palmeiras on a five-year contract, the ‌club's sixth summer arrival.

"Allan is a really exciting player, and we think he will be a big addition to the squad," City's Director of Football ​Hugo Viana said in a statement ⁠on Monday. "He has shown ⁠throughout his short career so far that he will fight to ⁠be ‌the best he can be."

According to reports, City have agreed to pay around €40 million($47 million) for the ⁠player who came through the academy ranks at ​the Sao ‌Paulo club and made 96 first-team appearances.

Elliot Anderson, Geronimo Rulli, ⁠Ayyoub Bouaddi, ​Jeremy Monga and Pierce Charles have also joined the club during this transfer window.

"This is a surreal moment for me. Manchester ⁠City, with everything they have won over ​the past 15 years, are one of the most attractive clubs in the world for players," Allan said.

"To be able to ⁠sit here today and say I have joined them is the proudest moment of my life. I love Palmeiras and always will -- but the decision to come to City was ​an easy one."

Florianopolis-born Elias said he ⁠hoped to be "another good Brazilian" in the Premier League and follow ​in the footsteps of the likes ‌of Gabriel Jesus, Ederson and Fernandinho, ​who all won Premier League titles with City.
