Josko Gvardiol was happy to hear from Mateo Kovacic ahead of joining him at Manchester City.
However, the new City defender says he didn't need any convincing.
I don't need him to tell me," Gvardiol said.
"Everyone knows and everyone wants to be a part of this club, so once you have the opportunity, you're going to take it. I spoke with him about the team, and he said he really likes it and for sure we're going to enjoy it.
First of all, as a person he's a really nice guy. He's always there to help you. On the pitch he's a fantastic player with amazing control and I would say one of the fastest players with the ball. He will always give his best and give everything on the pitch."
