Manchester City are a stronger team after replacing their four outgoing players over the summer, according to captaincy candidate Kyle Walker.
Man City have two clear priorities before summer transfer window closes
29.08.2023 - 16:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City could make a rare late surge in the transfer window.
Much of the summer was focused on securing the signature of Josko Gvardiol from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig and the defender subsequently arrived just before the Premier League season got underway in a £77.5m deal.
Gvardiol followed fellow Croatia international Mateo Kovacic through the doors at the Etihad, with the midfielder's £25m arrival going someway to make up for former captain Ilkay Gundogan's departure to Barcelona following the expiration of his contract.
Those two have now been joined by Belgian winger Jeremy Doku following his £55m arrival from Rennes this week, although there could still be work to do before the window closes for Pep Guardiola and City's transfer team. The injury suffered by Kevin De Bruyne in the season opener against Vincent Kompany's Burnley means another body could be needed in midfield, while more attacking reinforcements have also been linked in recent days.

City are notoriously difficult negotiators, however, and have not been afraid of walking away from making signings in the past should the club think they do not represent value for money. A move for Declan Rice was passed up in the early days of the window as City did not want to fork out the £105m transfer fee that title rivals Arsenal eventually paid.
De Bruyne's subsequent injury has meant a new midfielder is back on the agenda, however. Doku's arrival may have filled the Riyad Mahrez-shaped hole in Guardiola's squad but that has not stopped a number of other targets in the final third of the pitch from also being linked with moves to the Etihad.
