Rating Man City's summer signings including Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips and Manuel Akanji

It's no secret that Manchester City enjoyed an excellent transfer window.

Six signings, one of whom is destined to be the next best player on the planet, a complete squad refresh and a profit was even made. That's some summer of business for City and a rarity too, as Pep Guardiola has only tended to add a couple of players per window in recent years.

But it was time for a shake-up after years of success in order to keep the squad happy and hungry to win even more. Things certainly bode well after the opening weeks of the campaign and here's how the Blues' new recruits have fared at the Etihad so far.

Erling Haaland

It's only been nine games but we're already starting to run low on ways to describe Erling Haaland. The man is scarcely believable. The magic of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo over the last 15 years has skewed how impressive goalscoring stats can be and it looks as though Haaland could raise the bar even higher.

It's only been nine competitive games but the Norwegian already has a remarkable 14 goals to his name. Only Bournemouth (shockingly) have managed to keep him at bay. City are basically starting every match one goal to the good.

He is scoring every type of goal, from everywhere on the pitch and is smashing even the highest of expectations. He is a force of nature that can't be stopped, you just have to hope the storm abates enough to survive. What a start and the best is yet to come.

Rating: 10/10

Julian Alvarez

Technically not a summer signing given he put pen to paper in January, but given he arrived at the Etihad this summer we'll consider him on our list.

Overshadowed somewhat by Haaland's arrival,
