Grading the summer transfer window: Manchester City

Bernardo Silva - The present and future

Bernardo Silva is the latest talented attacker to join Manchester City

A key player in AS Monaco's unprecedented success last season, Bernardo Silva was snapped up by Manchester City even before the FA Cup final took place. This highlighted how highly Guardiola rates the 23-year old.

The Portuguese playmaker finished the 2016/17 season with 11 goals and 12 assists across all competitions for the French side last season. Silva's link-up play, ability to play fluid football and end-product meant City did not hesitate in splashing £43 million for him.

The former Benfica midfielder is touted to be the long-term replacement for David Silva, who is approaching the twilight of his career. Furthermore, Silva will get a chance to prove himself given City will be competing on all four fronts this season.
