Man City Transfers: 8 Players Pep Guardiola Will Bring To Etihad

7. Aymeric Laporte (Athletic Bilbao)

Currently rated as one of the biggest talents in Spain at the minute, Laporte has been linked to Guardiola and City recently (by the likes of According to Mundo Deportivo) and he would represent another emerging star who could immediately impact City's squad. Without Vincent Kompany, the backline has looked shaky at best, and it's clear some surgery is necessary in the summer if they want to remount their title charge next year. Guardiola certainly won't entertain the idea of repeating some of the defensive issues fans have seen away from home this term. Laporte could legitimately be the missing puzzle piece, particularly if City want to ease the burden on Kompany.
