CJ Egan-Riley says Manchester City will always hold a special place in his heart after exiting the club for Burnley on a permanent transfer.
U23 captain Egan-Riley, who made three senior appearances for City and played a pivotal role in the academy's recent successes, has traded the Etihad for Turf Moor, where he has signed a four-year contract for Vincent Kompany's side.
Egan-Riley leaves for a nominal fee, while City have a 30 per cent sell-on clause, and Blues centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis is expected to follow him to Burnley on a year-long loan deal to reunite with Kompany.
