Three Attackers Guardiola’s Man City terribly needs in the summer transfer window
There is no denying that Pep Guardiola has transformed Man City since he came to England. Every season, Man City - since Guardiola has been at the Etihad - have been considered leading contenders for trophies, with amazing odds on liontips.com for Man City to clinch European glory.
More than everyone, Guardiola and his pack of transfer chiefs at Man City, understand how dynamic modern football is. They are best placed to be educated on the risk of redundancy and how important it is to always buy the best players.
Talking of the transfer market, Man City badly needs a striker. The exit of Sergio Aguero has forced Guardiola to resort to a daringly unconventional strikerless system.
While this system has been sparkling at times., at other times, it has looked blunt. But which strikers currently can seamlessly slot into Aguero's unfilled shoes at Man City?
Harry Kane
The last is yet to be heard of Man City's transfer talks with Harry Kane after last season's talks went down the drain.
Man City snooped around the English forward and was almost certain to snap him up, only hindered by his £150m price tag and some characteristic strong-headedness from Daniel Levy, Tottenham chairman.
This season, the 28-year-old has 22 goals and 9 assists for Tottenham Hotspur, with 12 goals and 8 assists in the premier league.
Harry Kane's style of play fits that of the Cityzens. He is a box-to-box player who enjoys dominating the opponent and is quick to shoot at any given chance.
In addition, his eye for that killer through passes will make him a deadly addition to the attacking front three.
This prolific striker has been consistently banging the goals for his club and country and is sure to replicate the same if he makes the Etihad stadium his next home.
Erling Haaland
Manchester City requires a center forward, despite the club's great team contribution keeping this need hidden.
Gabriel Jesus is the only natural center forward on the first squad. As a result, anytime he is unavailable, Pep must make significant tactical decisions. However, the addition of Erling Haaland to the team will undoubtedly boost its offensive possibilities.
Haaland, who is over 6 feet tall, is a formidable opponent. He bullies his opponents with his height and body structure, allowing him always win duels.
In addition, he has a scorching pace that lets him leave defenders in the dust as he drives into the box.
The young Norwegian relishes long balls into the box and is always ready to tuck a cross away into the net. He's also known for finishing off sharp counterattacks while also helping with his speed.
Since joining his German club, the 21-year-old has progressively improved, scoring 25 goals for the squad this season.
If a move is successful, Pep will have a pacy, adventurous, and strong goal poacher who is always ready to score.
Darwin Nunez
The 22-year-old Uruguayan has had a successful season with Benfica putting him on the watchlist of big clubs. This season, he has 33 goals for his Portuguese side and is likely to end the season with a higher tally.
Nunez has an athletic build and is known for his speed and trickery. He is always aware of his surroundings and is good at making quick decisions as concerns the ball, opponents, and teammates.
The striker is good with his feet, always coming up with shots even when least expected. In addition, he is an avid playmaker and goal scorer.
A Nunez's move to the Etihad will see him contributing balance to the attack, making those in-runs and finishing off counterattacks. In addition, he is sure to increase his career's goal tally if he joins the Cityzens.
Conclusion
Should Man City go shopping in the transfer market, they are sure to return with a world-class center forward. Such an outstanding addition to an already formidable Man City squad will make them a side to dread universally.
Guardiola rarely signs flops. Who knows, his next striker could win Man City the much-coveted Champions League.
