Manchester City supporters should be very excited as Pep Guardiola looks to continue splashing the cash ahead of his second season in the Premier League.

Having already landed Bernardo Silva and goalkeeper Ederson for a combined £78million, City are closing in on a deal to sign Dani Alves on a free transfer while they are also confident of signing Monaco left back Benjamin Mendy.

As well, the club are confident they can prise Alexis Sanchez away from Arsenal. So, with City's summer business showing no sign of slowing down, how could Guardiola's side line-up next season?
