Bernardo Silva: Silva looks set to be a significant figure for Manchester City. He’s  kind of player who can unlock a defence with a key pass or a moment of technical brilliance. There aren’t many with his kind of quality. He can play off either the left or the right, or play as a No. 10, giving Guardiola plenty of options.

Benjamin Mendy: Mendy became the most expensive defender of all time. The 23-year-old arrived as one of the premier talents out of Ligue 1, but most importantly he fill in the controlled leaks of two 31- year- old left backs in Aleksandar Kolarov and Gael Clichy.

Kyle Walker: Walker becomes City’s third signing of the summer. The right-back joins from Tottenham on a five-year deal. Kyle Walker is a fine full-back, one capable of producing quality at both ends of the pitch.

Danilo Luiz Da Silva: Few weeks ago, Blues of Manchester signed defender Danilo from Real Madrid. Danilo performance impressed this pre-season and it will be interesting to see how he fares this season.

Raheem Sterling: Sterling had a good season last year, appearing 33 Premier League matches getting 7 goals and 7 assists last year and City won 21 of the games he appeared. Sterling possesses elite pace and dribbling ability and can beat fullbacks regularly.
