Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini believes in-form striker Alvaro Negredo has proved a perfect addition to the squad. Negredo took his goal tally for the season to 18 with a brilliant hat-trick in City's 6-0 rout of West Ham in the first leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final on Wednesday. The Spaniard, signed last summer from Sevilla for �20million, has also formed effective partnerships with first Sergio Aguero and now - in the injury-enforced absence of the Argentine - Edin Dzeko.
