The five players Man City are tipped to sign during summer transfer window

Manchester City might have coasted to a third Premier League title in four last season, but they already have their attentions fixed firmly on another recruitment drive.

It was another successful domestic campaign for Pep Guardiola and his star-studded squad.

However, after reaching their first ever Champions League final, top European honours continue to elude Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium. Can he and City now go one better next season?

Aston Villa talisman Jack Grealish and England captain Harry Kane - both part of the Euro 2020 squad - are among a number of high-profile names to have been linked with a summer transfer to City.

They are also thought to be one of the potential suitors for Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Haaland.

However, none of those three or other potential signings will come cheaply - even in a transfer market which is set to be heavily shaped by financial implications of the Covid-19 pandemic.

SkyBet and other bookies continue to price-up the chances of those and other such deals.

Here are five players who the bookies suggest City are currently favourites to sign by September 3.

Manchester City - 1/3

Arsenal - 7/1
