Eberechi Eze and Matheus Nunes transfer interest is damning for one Man City star

Mateo Kovacic was the only new signing in June and July as anxiety over whether more business would get done grew amongst the fan base.

August got off to a great start to allay those fears as top target Josko Gvardiol was finally captured and there has been a flurry of activity since.

With the Croatian defender secured, City then turned their attention to how best to bolster their attacking options after the loss of Riyad Mahrez.

The 30-year-old will be reunited with Roma manager Jose Mourinho, who worked with him at Chelsea and Manchester United. "The welcome I've received from this club and its fans has excited me and given me even more motivation to give my all for my new team," Lukaku said. "I recently got the opportunity to speak with the owners, and I was impressed by their ambition. Now we must work, be humble, and grow game by game. For my part, I can't wait to be available to my team mates both on and off the pitch." Lukaku, who had a successful loan spell at Inter Milan last season, has reportedly agreed to a large wage cut.
