Four players Man City are tipped to sign before transfer Deadline Day

Manchester City smashed the British transfer fee record to bring Jack Grealish to the Etihad Stadium from Aston Villa but are yet to add further names to their ranks.

Pep Guardiola's side bounced back from an opening-weekend defeat to Tottenham by hitting five past Norwich City in their first home game of the campaign.

There is still time for further deals to be done in the market before the transfer window slams shut at the end of the month, with plenty of rumours floating around.

Here, using the latest odds from SkyBet, we have taken a look at the players seen as most likely to make a move to City.

Harry Kane - 5/4

City's pursuit of England captain Harry Kane this summer is no secret but, so far, Tottenham have refused to buckle on their star man.

Back in the Spurs squad for the clash against Wolves, things seem delicately poised heading into the final week of the window and, if City get their wish, the record they set with the capture of Grealish could be broken again.

Regarding the odds, the outcome viewed as most likely is that he remains in north London but, if he were to more, City are the most favoured destination.

Robert Lewandowski - 9/4

Speculation this week stated that Robert Lewandowski is keen on a new challenge away from Bayern Munich, sparking a fresh set of rumours.

With City's void in attack following Aguero's exit, it's not surprising to see the Poland international linked with a move - but the price-tag for the former Borussia Dortmund man makes a deal extremely unlikely.

Nevertheless, City are seen as having the potential to complete a deal for the experienced striker before the window slams shut.

Dusan Vlahovic - 8/1

If City opt to sign a younger striker to fill Aguero's void, Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic is a candidate that is seen as among the most likely to make a move.

The 21-year-old Serbia international has been linked with an array of clubs this season, including Tottenham and Atletico Madrid.

However, a move this summer is not likely to be on the cards and it would take a significant turn of events for that situation to change.

Kalvin Phillips - 10/1

A star of the Leeds United side and a regular for Gareth Southgate's England set-up, Kalvin Phillips would be a significant addition for City.

With Fernandinho due to depart next year, there could be a significant void to fill in City's midfield and Phillips could be a candidate in that regard.

However, Leeds are extremely unlikely to accept a departure for their fan-favourite and it's not a position that City are focused upon.
