UNCOVERED: Man city signing sergio gomez explains why he chose no 21 squad number - The Untold Story

Sergio Gomez is aiming to continue the strong Spanish heritage of the No.21 shirt at Manchester City.

The Blues announced left-back Gomez as their fifth arrival of the summer transfer window after agreeing an £11million transfer with Anderlecht. The 21-year-old has been brought in as a replacement for Aleks Zinchenko and has signed a contract at the Etihad until 2023.

When Gomez was young, his brother went on a school trip to London so he asked him to bring him back a City shirt with David Silva's name and number on the back. Now he will wear No.21 himself, which has strong Spanish lineage at City with it last being worn by Ferran Torres.
