Man City summer signings rated as Haaland near unstoppable but defender must improve

Manchester City are not known for having busy transfer windows, but in 2022 that's exactly what happened.

First-team regulars Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, Fernandinho and Oleksandr Zinchenko all left for pastures new, and in response City brought in a host of new faces. Of course the signings of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez had already been secured before the end of last season, but Kalvin Phillips, Stefan Ortega, Sergio Gomez and Manuel Akanji followed before the end of the summer to complete a new-look squad.

New signings often take a while to settle in at City and adapt to Pep Guardiola's system - as some of this year's recruits are showing - but some of the new arrivals have bedded in extremely quickly. After 14 games of the new Premier League season, now seems like an appropriate time to rank City's summer signings.
