Manchester City's Patrick Roberts has joined Girona on loan
The young English winger arrives on loan after spending two seasons with Celtic
It's finally official: Patrick Roberts has joined Girona on loan from Manchester City. The young, English winger becomes the latest player to be added to Eusebio's squad after the previous permanent signings of Muniesa and Mojica. Girona don't have an option to buy the rapid forward but hope he can strike up a good connection with strikers Portu and Stuani.
This isn't the Englishman's first loan deal either. The U20 international joined City from Fulham back in 2015 and has played on loan at Celtic for the past two seasons where he scored 12 goals and provided 13 assists across 65 matches. Roberts also has Champions League experience having played a total of nine matches in Europe's top competition.
Roberts' role will be to give first team regulars, Borja Garcia and Portu, a rest when need be. Girona's task is the same as last season and that's to avoid relegation. The young winger is already included in the squad for this weekend's game against Real Valladolid.
