Man City tipped to sign five players in the summer transfer window

Manchester City will be aiming to improve their squad this summer after a somewhat tumultuous season to date.

The Blues were favourites to win another Premier League title but instead the two-time reigning champions are 22 points behind Liverpool.

Vincent Kompany's departure coupled with Aymeric Laporte's injury led to a run of form which has seen Pep Guardiola's men lose six league matches across the campaign.

Whilst City may be in the knockout stages of the Champions League, the title race is over and defensively there are some issues which need to be sorted.

This summer will provide a chance for City to make some squad improvements and here are the latest player transfer odds ahead of the next window courtesy of SportNation.bet.

Ben Chilwell 9/4

Man City have struggled due to injury and a lack of form in the left-back role this season and have been linked with a summer play for Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell.

Angelino was sent out on loan to RB Leipzig last month as Pep Guardiola placed his faith further in Benjamin Mendy and Aleks Zinchenko.

But amid continuing struggles with the left-back position, Chilwell could become an option for City this summer, though Chelsea and Manchester United have also been linked with the 23-year-old.

Ruben Dias 4/1

The 22-year-old defender has impressed for Benfica and the Portuguese national team this season and it has led to speculation about his future.

MEN Sport understands that signing centre-backs will be a focus in the summer window and that could mean up to two arriving at the Etihad Stadium.

Dayot Upamecano 5/1

Another up and coming centre-back option City could dip into the market for is Dayot Upamecano.

The RB Leipzig player has impressed for the Germans in the Bundesliga this term.

City have been linked but so have Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Barcelona.

Kalidou Koulibaly 7/1

Rumours on Kalidou Koulibaly date back to before Vincent Kompany left the club.

The Napoli star is still relatively short when it comes to the odds of him signing for City this summer.

Jack Grealish 8/1

Jack Grealish continues to take his game to another level at Aston Villa but could leave during the summer.

Manchester United and City have been linked, as well as Real Madrid.
