Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will look to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer as summer signing Claudio Bravo has struggled to make an impact at the Etihad.

Bravo has received widespread criticism for his performances since joining City and his stats make for grim viewing for the Chilean.

The City goalkeeper has saved just 55.4% of shots faced in the Premier League this season, the second worst in the league behind Fraser Forster.

The goalkeeper was signed by Guardiola primarily for his ability with his feet, but has even failed to show his footballing ability in the Citizens goal.

Current No.2, Willy Caballero, is out of contract at the end of the season and is unlikely to be offered a new deal at the Etihad, while Joe Hart's chances of a return to the side still appear to be slim.

Therefore, Guardiola is left with no option but to sign another 'keeper in the summer.
