City boss Malky Mackay thinks that Kim will make a mark in the Premier League

"I think Kim is absolutely ready to make the step up to the Premier League," said the boss.

"He's an international, very comfortable on the ball and just desperate not to give it away. He is certainly a very exciting player, and that was the reason I bought him in the first place.

"I think it was a case of us getting a player that ordinarily we might not have managed to get."
