Kevin De Bruyne claims Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is eyeing up ‘a lot’ more signings this summer window
Premier League giants have already brought in Ederson, Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva this summer, but want more
KEVIN DE BRUYNE has claimed Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is eyeing up 'a lot' more signings this summer.
The Belgian midfielder, 26, knows the manager is working hard to bolster his squad after a trophy-less 2016-17 campaign.
Guardiola has already spent big to bring in Ederson, Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker, after losing full-backs Pablo Zabaleta, Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy.
Elsewhere, Aleksandar Kolarov, Eliaqium Mangala and Jason Denayer are on the brink of a Man City departure.
De Bruyne said due to the massive defensive loss this summer, he personally expects a host more signings in the back-four, with Danilo and Benjamin Mendy already targeted.
The Belgium international said: “We know especially defensively we’ve lost a lot of players so probably a lot of people will come in too.
“I don’t know personally who we are going to get but hopefully there will be a few more yet.
“Since I’ve been here we’ve seen a lot of change.

“We bought a lot of young players, we have a little project coming on.
“It should be better than last year, but also don’t forget there’s a lot of change again this summer with a lot of players coming in or going out.
“We don’t know yet how many will arrive, but it’s been a busy transfer period like everybody knows.”
