Mangala moves to Valencia

LONDON: Manchester City’s 25-year-old France defender Eliaquim Mangala has moved to Valencia on a season-long loan deal, the clubs announced on Wednesday. He joined City from Porto for about £32 million ($42.01 million) in August 2014 but has struggled to establish himself after making 48 Premier League appearances under the club’s former manager Manuel Pellegrini. Mangala, who has not featured for new coach Pep Guardiola this season, becomes the fourth player to leave the Etihad Stadium on deadline.
