Manchester City fans in the Transfer Tavern are excited to see who Pep Guardiola will bring to the Etihad now the summer transfer window is officially open.
It’s hard to pick out areas to improve in the City squad after the successes of last season. The Citizens cruised to the Premier League title and picked up the Carabao Cup on the way. Despite the quality in their squad, Guardiola has stated he wants two major signings this summer. Napoli’s Jorginho and Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez are expected to become City players in the coming days.
Many of City’s players are approaching the end of their careers, meaning Guardiola would be wise to use the transfer window to build for the future. Our regulars are hoping the club will continue to dominate the Premier League for years to come as well as landing their first European Cup.
Therefore, City need to attempt to sign Fulham wonderkid – Ryan Sessegnon. The 18-year-old enjoyed a stunning breakthrough season in the Championship and helped fire the Cottagers to the Premier League. He netted 16 goals and notched eight assists which resulted in his market value skyrocketing to £22.5m according to Transfermarkt.
His performances have attracted attention from the Premier League’s biggest clubs with Tottenham and Manchester United reportedly interested in the youngster. However, Fulham chairman Shahid Khan is adamant their hot prospect will remain at Craven Cottage. However, City must attempt to lure him to Manchester.
The allure of playing for one of England’s biggest clubs under one of the best managers in the world will be a tempting proposition. Guardiola has a reputation for developing youngsters with huge potential into world-class stars. He wouldn’t come cheap, but landing Sessegnon could prove to be the best investment City ever made.
