Pep Guardiola is getting what he wants at Man City despite transfer risk

The summer transfer window might be less than a week old, but already it is clear that Manchester City's squad is going to look quite different come the start of the new season.

In recent years City fans have become accustomed to the Blues making one or two additions to Pep Guardiola's all-star squad, but this summer has seen a flurry of activity not seen since the summer of 2017. At the time of writing, four new players will be available to Guardiola by the time of the Community Shield clash with Liverpool on 31 July.

Julian Alvarez will soon join up with his new teammates after City agreed to sign him back in January, while summer signings Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and Stefan Ortega Moreno will also bring a fresh look to the squad. The new recruits could well be joined by Marc Cucurella in the not too distant future, with the Spanish left-back expected to join from Brighton in the coming weeks.
