Argentine defender set to complete Man City move

Cristian 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.
Ansaldi shone for Rubin Kazan in their Champions League campaign earlier this season.
He was an instrumental part of the side that beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp in October.
That win shot Ansaldi into Diego Maradona's World Cup plans and Mancini believes the defender is one of the games rising stars.
