After Walker's arrival was confirmed on Friday, and despite further unexpected signings which could be made, we take a look at how Guardiola's starting team could look next season.

Bernardo Silva, Ederson and Kyle Walker have arrived, while Benjamin Mendy is expected to do so before Monday. They are still hopeful about signing Alexis Sanchez, but Wenger is remaining firm on that front.

Their attacking options are plentiful as it is, with Sterling, Jesus, Sane and Aguero all fighting for three spots. The latter could see his role in the team diminish with Guardiola's faith in Gabriel Jesus growing every day.

Pep Guardiola will likely rotate his squad, with Gundogan and Yaya Toure also fighting for a place in midfield. If Ryan Bertrand's £26m move from Southampton materialises, he will be fighting for a place at the left-back.

GK: Ederson

Defenders: Kyle Walker, John Stones, Vincent Kompany, Benjamin Mendy

Midfielders: Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva

Forwards: Bernardo Silva, Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus
