Dutch central defender Karim Rekik has returned to Manchester City from a loan spell at PSV Eindhoven, where his performances in the Eredivisie suggested that he could have a role to play at Eastlands in the coming season.
A 19 year-old who has made just one senior league appearance for City, Rekik has also enjoyed loan spells with Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers during his rapid development.
