"I could not be happier to commit my long-term future to Manchester City. Since the day I arrived here, I have been made to feel welcome by Pep and all the players," Laporte told City's website.

"This club offers me everything I need to improve my game. I've already made great strides and I want to continue getting better and better. I want to win silverware and I feel City is the best place to fulfil all my ambitions."

Laporte has become Guardiola's main central defender this season and the Frenchman is the only outfield player at City to play every league game this season, managing to score two goals.
