Manchester City are set to land Rubin Kazan fullback Cristian Ansaldi this week.

The Sunday Mirror says Ansaldi will fly in this week to complete a £6million move to Manchester City.

His Russian club Rubin Kazan finally agreed a deal last night to allow the left-back to join Roberto Mancini's Eastlands revolution.

And he will be the Italian's second signing after Patrick Vieira joined from Inter Milan on Friday.

Argentine left-back Ansaldi, 23, is being brought in to provide Wayne Bridge with a long-term challenge for his spot in the team.
