Manchester City could make a rare late surge in the transfer window. Much of the summer was focused on securing the signature of Josko Gvardiol from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig and the defender subsequently arrived just before the Premier League season got underway in a £77.5m deal.

Those two have now been joined by Belgian winger Jeremy Doku following his £55m arrival from Rennes this week, although there could still be work to do before the window closes for Pep Guardiola and City's transfer team.
