Pep Guardiola has maintained throughout his time at Manchester City that refreshing the squad is a necessity to continue a constant hunger for success.
As we saw in the 2019/20 season, keeping the same faces around for too long will - naturally - lower the levels of commitment after back-to-back Premier League title successes.
So, this season, Guardiola is taking no chances and changes are aplenty at the Etihad Stadium. Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling have both left to join Arsenal and Chelsea respectively, with Oleksandr Zinchenko also heavily linked with a move to the Emirates.
Nathan Aké is now expected to stay, but City have supplemented the squad with four exciting new arrivals.
