City confirm Mpenza signing
Manchester City have announced the signing of Belgium international Emile Mpenza on a free transfer.
The striker has agreed a deal until the end of the season with City, subject to receiving international clearance.
Mpenza linked up with the Premiership club at the start of the week on trial after being released by Qatari side Al Rayyan in January.
He impressed during a behind-closed-doors game against Blackpool and Stuart Pearce confirmed his intention to sign the forward.
The former Schalke front man has now settled on personal terms, although he will not be eligible to feature in Sunday's FA Cup fifth round tie with Preston North End.
Meanwhile, City's rearranged Premiership game against Arsenal - scheduled for Wednesday 28th February - has been postponed.
Unforeseen maintenance work has prompted the closure of Arsenal underground station, resulting in the match being called off.
A fresh date for the encounter is expected to be announced next week.
