New York City FC have signed Manchester City goalkeeper Eirik Johansen.

The 22-year-old Norwegian has not made a first team appearance for the Blues, but played eight games for Scunthorpe on loan in 2013 and this season has been on loan at Sandefjord in his home country.

NYCFC coach Jason Kreis said: "We had a good look at Eirik over the course of the pre-season, and he adapted well to the team and to our style of play.

"It's always good to have strong competition for places in the team, and Eirik will add to an already strong group of goalkeepers vying for game time. It's a long season and guys will get their opportunities for various reasons."
