5 signings that could win Manchester City the Premier League

#1 Alexis Sanchez

Alexis is the superstar signing that can win Pep Guardiola his first ever Premier League

All the previous signings are either required or an improvement on existing players. However, every team in quest for a title needs a superstar player who lifts the team with him. While Manchester City are blessed with a number of top players, none of them comes close to Alexis Sanchez in terms of what he brings to the table.

Sanchez scored 24 goals and assisted 10 more for Arsenal last season. These are phenomenal numbers for any player and the Chilean is a player right at the top of his game. He can play either on the left wing or up top and has the winning mentality needed to win trophies.

Further, he is one of the coolest penalty takers around, comfortable with either foot and is at the peak of his game. Another huge factor that will help Pep’s style of play is his tremendous work-rate as he works his socks off in every game irrespective of his position.

At 28 years of age, he might not be the youngest but Manchester City signing Sanchez is akin to local rivals Manchester United signing Robin van Persie in 2012. Sanchez can paper over the cracks for City even if they miss out on other targets and help them launch a title bid.

It is not often that a player like Sanchez comes along and more importantly, looking to move in such peak form. If City sign him up, then the chances of Pep Guardiola winning his first ever PL crown will increase substantially.
