Joao Cancelo has signed a contract extension keeping him at Manchester City until 2027.

The Portugal international has established himself as one of the best full-backs around since joining from Juventus in the summer of 2019.

Cancelo was named in last season's PFA Team of the Year and has now agreed a two-year contract extension at the Etihad Stadium.

"Manchester City is a fantastic club, so I am incredibly happy to have signed this new agreement," the 27-year-old said.

"City players have everything they need to reach their full potential, with amazing facilities, world-class teammates and an incredible manager who pushes us every single day.

"There is nowhere better to play football and it's a pleasure to work here. I have so much I want to achieve before my career ends, and Manchester City offers me the best chance of fulfilling my ambitions.

"This new contract means I now have complete focus on improving my game and winning more trophies with this team."

Cancelo is on track to win back-to-back Premier League titles with City, where he has made 30 appearances in all competitions for Pep Guardiola's men this season.
