Wilfried Bony has targeted Champions League glory after completing his reported £28million transfer from Swansea to Manchester City.
The 26-year-old striker agreed a four-a-half year deal at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday while away on international duty with the Ivory Coast.
Bony's debut may be delayed for nearly a month because of the Ivory Coast's participation in the African Nations Cup, but he is eligible to play in the Champions League, starting with the first leg of City's last 16 tie against Barcelona on 24 February.
"I think it's a great decision for me - Manchester City is in the Champions League," Bony said about his move on the official club website.
"You remember at the end of last season I said that if I want to move it will be to a team in the competition because it's a great tournament that I really want to play in and one that I want to win.
"It's a motivation for me to give my maximum to be in that place.
"City is a big club with great players with a lot of experience. I believe we can do it."
Bony finished 2014 as the Barclays Premier League's top scorer with 20 goals and scored 34 times in 70 appearances for Swansea following his £12m switch from Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem in 2013.
The Ivorian joins Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic in a potent-looking City strikeforce and manager Manuel Pellegrini believes Bony will settle at the club quickly.
"He is very difficult to mark because he is so strong," Pellegrini told the official club website.
"He is an intelligent footballer who has skill and power.
"His goals record has been excellent since he came to England.
"He adapted very quickly to the game here and I think he will settle in at City quickly. He will be a very good addition to our squad."
