What Vincent Kompany told Sergio Gomez about Man City transfer

Sergio Gomez's transfer to Manchester City got the thumbs up from Vincent Kompany, the new defender has revealed.
Gomez, 21, joins City for an initial £11m from Anderlecht, where he won Player of the Season last term under Kompany's management. Originally an attacking midfielder in his youth, Kompany moved Gomez back to left-back, where he scored seven goals and provided 15 assists for teammates last season.
Kompany left Anderlecht in the summer to join Burnley, with Gomez contacting his old manager before moving to City to get some advice - after Pep Guardiola had called Kompany for an insight on Gomez from a manager's perspective.

"I spoke to him a few days ago. I told him about an option to move to Manchester City and he told me he was very happy for me. He said he was proud of me for this big step in my career.”
On his Player of the Year award under Kompany, Gomez said he was driven by a desire to win, which translated into good indidivual performances.
He said: “We did a great season as a team. I was one of the most important players in the squad. I always try to help the team to win as much as I can. Winning is the only thing I want and matters to me. We did a great season together and the fans chose me as the best player of the season in the club. That made me really proud.
