Lampard and Sagna signings above board, says Pellegrini

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has declared his happiness with the club’s summer transfer window dealings so far — and confidence that they have all been above board.

Over the last few days the spotlight has been on City’s recruitment of Frank Lampard and Bacary Sagna following comments made about both signings from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Former Chelsea midfielder Lampard has arrived at the Etihad Stadium on loan until January from New York City FC — Manchester City’s American sister outfit, who the 36-year-old England international signed for earlier this summer.
