Fringe Man City star surprisingly handed new one-year deal

Eliaquim Mangala: Leaves Man City on loan

Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala has signed a one-year contract extension until 2020, the Premier League club have announced.

France international Mangala joined City from Porto in 2014 and has made 81 appearances during his time at the Etihad Stadium.

The 28-year-old picked up a Premier League winners’ medal after playing nine top-flight games for Pep Guardiola’s side during the first half of last season.

He spent the 2016-17 campaign on loan at Valencia before moving on loan to Everton in January 2018.

Injury cut short his spell at Goodison Park and he has not made a first-team appearance since February last year.
