Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak says they are planning a big spending summer market campaign.

City have already splashed out for AS Monaco midfielder Bernardo Silva and are close to signing Benfica goalkeeper Ederson.

Khaldoon said: "I think the transition of this squad in this cycle started last year.

"And if you look at the players we brought in last year, we brought in youth, talent, speed.

"I look back at some of our dealings last year and it's an indicator of how we are rebuilding this team. Leroy Sane, the right age, the right talent, one of the most-exciting prospects in Europe, and he's shown that on the pitch this year.

"John Stones, 22, is going to be one of the best central defenders in the world, I have no doubt about that. A top, top player.

"Gabriel Jesus, 19, one of the top future talents in the world. So if you just look at those three examples, that's what we did last year and that's what you should expect this year.

"We are going to go and get some of the best talent in the world to be part of this strategy we have been pursuing. This cycle started last summer and this summer you should expect the same."
