Ederson is, of course, Guardiola's first choice but Zack Steffen and Scott Carson will both be on the books this coming season.

Gavin Bazunu has now left for Southampton but four goalkeepers, should Ortega sign, is still way too many, even with the fixture demands on the Blues in the next campaign. Therefore, the City manager needs to make a simple transfer decision this summer.
