Sergio Gomez has revealed he grew up supporting Manchester City.
The Spanish left-back has inherited the number 21 from compatriot David Silva following his move from Anderlecht on Tuesday.
"I was a City fan when I was a kid," Gomez told the club's website.
"When we were kids, my brother used to support City. He's the main reason I became a fan as well.
"Once he was on a school trip to London and I asked him to bring a David Silva shirt.
"At that time, he was wearing the No.21 shirt and he was my favourite player because I used to play in his position when I was a kid.
"I feel very proud that I can wear his number, like Ferran Torres did here.
"I think it's very nice that another Spanish player takes the No.21 shirt and I will give my best wearing it."
