Highly-rated Swedish striker John Guidetti has signed a new three-year contract with English Premier League champions Manchester City.

The 20-year-old is yet to feature in the Premier League but boosted his reputation last term after scoring 20 goals in 23 appearances during a loan spell with Feyenoord.

That form led to speculation over his future, with a host of clubs being linked with a move for the Sweden international, but City have moved to tie him to a new deal.

"I feel really happy of course, it's a fantastic football club and to sign a new deal is really, really good," he told the club's website.

"I've been here for a long time and Manchester City are the ones who have helped me grow and develop to the player I am today, so I am very grateful for that.

"I've seen how the club has turned into one of the biggest clubs in the world and it is great to be a part of that."

Guidetti returned to City after suffering illness towards the end of the last campaign and he is still fighting back to full fitness.

He said: "It's going well - I can run, I can shoot, I can pass, so I am definitely getting there, but we have to be a bit more patient and of course I want to get out there every day, it's what I long for."
