Manchester City have completed the £16m-signing of left-back Aleksander Kolarov from Lazio.
The 24-year-old Serbia international, who will provide direct competition for Wayne Bridge, was granted a work permit and passed a medical on Saturday.
"I want two top-class players for each position," said coach Roberto Mancini.
"This is an additional benefit to the team. He has a fantastic international career ahead of him. I am looking forward to working with him."
Kolarov, labelled the Serbian Roberto Carlos because of his shooting prowess, had drawn interest from several clubs, and Mancini is pleased to have captured a player he has long admired.
