Eliaquim Mangala in Valencia ahead of loan move

Manchester City's Eliaquim Mangala has travelled to Valencia ahead of a move to the La Liga side.

The defender, who has fallen out of favour since Pep Guardiola's arrival in Manchester, looks set for a season-long switch to the club where Sky Sports News reports that he has already successfully completed a medical.

Mangala has made 64 appearances at City since joining in 2014 for £32m from Porto, who had also been linked with a move for the player.

The 25-year-old was a part of France's Euro 2016 campaign, making one appearance which came in their quarter-final win over Iceland.
