Manchester City unveil Pep Guardiola as new Manager
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola

Manchester City have had a roller-coaster ride this season. The club went on to clinch the Premier League trophy in a grand fashion, breaking a host of records in the process.

However, in the face of the hype Pep Guardiola's side created with their rampant winning form, the Citizens were unable to put up a similar fight in the other major competitions as they did in the English Premier League.

In the FA Cup, The Blues suffered a giant-killing at the hands of Wigan Athletic, calling a halt to their winning spree out of the blue.

Likewise, in the Champions League, Manchester City were ignominiously humbled by Liverpool in the quarter-finals stage.

As such, their success in the Premier League was not enough to mask the contretemps the club experienced this season.

With the transfer market in full swing, Pep Guardiola will patently seek to bolster his squad for the forthcoming campaign in order to evade the fury of the fans.

On that note, let us take a look at 3 signings that can make Manchester City unstoppable next season.


#3 Mateo Kovacic

Ent
The Croatian prodigy

In the recent years, Kovacic has merchandised himself as one of the most promising young players in Europe.

Despite the dearth of game time under Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid, the Croat has shown his potential whenever given the chance.

The 24-year-old will also be seen in the upcoming all-important FIFA World Cup featuring for the Croatian national team in tandem with Luka Modric.

Kovacic has earned plaudits from many football pundits for his versatility. He is a player who can play at his best both as an attacking midfielder or as a deep-lying playmaker.

Pep Guardiola is presently looking for a long-term replacement for the 33-year-old Fernandinho for which the former Inter star could be an ideal coup.

#2 Jorginho

Manchester City are keen to sign Jorginho

As a result of Napoli's stellar season where they fell just short of beating Juventus to their seventh Scudetto, many of their key players have caught the eye of high-profile European clubs.

Jorginho is one of such players who has attracted interest from Pep Guardiola.

The Spanish manager is on the prowl for a quality replacement for Yaya Toure who has departed the club of late.

The 26-year-old had a splendid season with the Italian club in which he managed 39 appearances across all competitions.

The Italian midfielder is well-known for his passing ability and versatility, which enabled him to excel in Maurizio Sarri's possession-based system.

Jorginho is a footballer who can play as a box-to-box midfielder as he is good at breaking down possession and boasts an admirable work-rate.

#1 Riyad Mahrez

Mahrez is one of the best forwards in the world right now

The Algerian forward has long been linked to Manchester City. The club wanted to land the 27-year-old in the January transfer window but were taken aback by Leicester City's eye-watering £95m valuation.

Mahrez has once again fallen on to Pep Guardiola's radar who is determined to secure his signature.

The wantaway winger has been of immense importance to The Foxes in his four-and-a-half-year stint at the club, especially in their 2015-16 season in which they astoundingly went on to win the Premier League title.

Mahrez is excellent at making forward runs and possesses a penchant for scoring goals by cutting inside a manner similar to Arjen Robben.

Therefore, he could be a wonderful addition to the already star-studded Manchester City squad and help them earn more success next season.
