Top 5: Potential Manchester City summer transfer targets

Benjamin Mendy (AS Monaco)

Guardiola and his team will already know a lot about Mendy as the 22-year-old defender was the architect of two of Monaco’s goals in their 3-1 victory against the Blues last week, knocking the Citizens out of Europe’s elite competition.

A young, fast and attacking full-back, Mendy offers City a box-to-box defender, something which has been lacking in recent years.

With Clichy ageing and Kolarov being moved to centre-back, City are in need of a young, new left-back and the Frenchman, along with his wicked left foot, could just be the answer.
