Manchester City are a financial heavyweight in global football, but their spending this summer has been minimal.
Pep Guardiola managed to guide the North-West outfit to the Premier League title with ease last season.
Understandably, then, the club did not need to do much tweaking to the current squad.
The only major arrival for Guardiola this summer has been Riyad Mahrez from Leicester City.
The Premier League winner will now provide competition for the wingers, but can also be used as an option in attack.

For months, City were thought to be hunting for a defensive midfielder, but it looks as though they will begin the season without a new player for that position.
Fernandinho did a stellar job last season, but there are not many options to choose from for Guardiola.
Jorginho was thought to be a major target, but the Napoli midfielder ended up following Maurizio Sarri to Chelsea.
While speaking to Sky Sports, the City boss confirmed that the club will not be bringing in any more new faces before Thursday’s 5pm deadline.
City fans have given mixed responses to Guardiola’s claims, with some blaming director of football Txiki Begiristain for the lack of signings.
