Another addition to City's 'Silva service'

After his impressive showing against Manchester City last year in the Champions League, Guardiola paid £43m to bring a new Silva to town, Bernardo Silva. He’ll be joining Belgian livewire, Kevin De Bruyne in the City midfield, behind the Premier League’s golden boy, Gabriel Jesus.

The Belgian could never really push on to the heights he promised, yet finished the term with 18 assists, 3 more than any other Premier League player. Consistency is an issue Guardiola has cited with him, but it looks like the off season has done him good, as he played a vital role in City's humbling of Madrid 4-1 in a recent friendly. Silva, 22, ran the show over in the French league last year contributing to 17 goals, and together they can spin webs around Premier League defences.

Kun Aguero has been one of the league’s most consistent forwards. He boasts the most prolific minutes-to-goal ratio in Premier League history. It’d take something special to dethrone this attacker. And special is exactly what Gabriel Jesus is. The 20-year-old scored 7 and assisted 4 in his 10 appearances last term. You can expect some heavenly football from City if Jesus and co. click.
