The Premier League champions have already made a total of five signings this summer, but remain active in the market with a move for Borussia Dortmund's Manuel Akanji set to be completed on deadline day.

The Switzerland international will join Stefan Ortega Moreno, Sergio Gomez, Kalvin Phillips, Julian Alvarez, and Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium, completing an impressive summer haul for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City officials.
