Rio Ferdinand has described Manchester City’s new summer signing as a great addition to the squad.
Manchester City signed Kovacic from Chelsea for a reported £25 million this summer.
The 29-year-old Croatia international played a major role in Chelsea’s recent success, but his performance began to diminish following the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel.
Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel, the former Manchester United star said: “Man City, Kovacic is a great signing. Obviously, they have lost Gundogan, the captain, but I think Kovacic is a shrewd signing at that price as well.
“I think he was worth £30m and in the current market, that is huge business, great business. He’s full of experience, won the biggest trophies, and a different player to what they have got in that area. He can travel with the ball through the lines, so I think he is a good signing.”
