Despite signing Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, James Trafford, Marcus Bettinelli and Sverre Nypan, Manchester City still seem to be focused on strengthening their squad this summer.

With Manchester City’s upcoming season set to begin on Saturday against Wolves, the English giants still seem to believe they can further boost their chances of acquiring silverware next season.
