Pep Guardiola confirms Man City stance on signing new left-back

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will try to sign a new left back when Aleks Zinchenko completes a move to Arsenal.

City will go into the new season with just Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo as their senior full-backs, and will have to rely on youngsters like Josh Wilson-Esbrand for back-up if a new left-back doesn't arrive. Cancelo played 45 minutes on the left against Club America in City's first pre-season game, and Wilson-Esbrand looked bright in the second half as a more traditional wide full-back.

And Guardiola revealed after the victory that City will try to replace Zinchenko, but are happy with their options should a replacement not arrive.
