Manchester City signed Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given from Newcastle for an undisclosed fee on Sunday.
Given underwent a medical on Sunday, while Newcastle were playing Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby, after being given permission to join Mark Hughes's side.
The 32-year-old, who has been keen to leave St James Park for several months, signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with City after making more than 450 appearances for Newcastle since in 1997.
