Argentine International Carlos Tevez has completed his move to Manchester City.

The former Manchester United striker has been the subject of a protracted transfer tussle since the end of last season.

The deal was officially completed after the 25-year-old has signed a five-year-deal at Eastlands after finally passing a medical.

Manchester City have been favourites to secure the premanent signing of the striker after he ruled out extending his two-year stay at Manchester United.

Manchester United legend Bryan Robson seemed to believe there was only one reason to choose City over United as he told Sky Sports, "I'm a bit surprised, but at certain stages money talks, and for me, Tevez has looked at the money side rather than his playing career side."

The Eastlands outfit fought Chelsea for the signature after the former Boca Juniors man revealed he would not move to Liverpool out of respect for United and their fans.

As Goal.com told you last week, the former West Ham striker was keen on a return to London with Chelsea, but is now happy to complete his switch across Manchester.
