Guardiola: 'One or two will arrive'

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed that he will only be looking to sign 'one or two players' during this summer's transfer window.

Yaya Toure is on his way out of the Etihad Stadium this summer, but Guardiola is expected to keep the bulk of his squad together following an impressive 2017-18 Premier League campaign.

The Spaniard has rejected suggestions that there will be a number of incomings ahead of the 2018-19 season having spent big in last summer's transfer window.

"Not too much but it depends on the players. Maybe some are not happy, they want to play more and can ask to leave, but not too many," Guardiola told reporters.

"We made a good, high investment last year because it was an old team - 10, 11 players more than 31 years old. Now we are going to change some details with Yaya [Toure] leaving. One, maybe two [signings]."

City will finish their 2017-18 campaign away to Southampton on Sunday afternoon.
