Haaland to Gomez - How Man City's seven signings have fared this season
It was a rare hectic summer for Manchester City as wild changes swept through the club.
Pep Guardiola usually favours gradual evolution rather than a full-on revolution in the transfer market but made moves to shake things up last year to keep City hungry for success. As a result, out went four players who had been so integral to so many trophy wins as Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, Aleks Zinchenko and even captain Fernandinho all departed.
Signed in their places were Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez, Sergio Gomez and Kalvin Phillips as well as the extra additions of goalkeeper Stefan Ortega and defender Manuel Akanji. There was even unexpected drama in January as Joao Cancelo, having grown frustrated with his lack of minutes, left for Bayern Munich on loan while young midfielder Maximo Perrone arrived from Velez Sarsfield.

What's there left to say about Haaland that hasn't already been said a million times? He is a freak of nature who makes scoring goals look like the easiest thing in the world. Other strikers need to sweat over scoring, it's what they are marked against after all, yet the Norwegian sensation just repeatedly finds the back of the net in the most nonchalant way possible.
Haaland has already broken countless records with his 42 goals in a mere 37 games, including the one for the most goals scored for City in a single season that had stood since 1929. He is just seven goals away from scoring the most in a single Premier League season, in his first campaign no less, and with plenty of games still to come it would be no surprise if he got up to 60 in all competitions.
