Jeremy Doku’s success on the left flank could see Manchester City move for a right-winger this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola initially signed the Belgian speedster to play on the right side, but he has excelled on the opposite wing in his debut Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n

And with suggestions that recruit Savio may spend another season on loan at Girona, the Citizens might need to enter the transfer market to bolster their ranks.<\/p>\n

We consider who City should target over the coming months.<\/p>\n

Pedro Neto<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pedro Neto is believed to be on Manchester City\u2019s radar \u2014 and with good reason.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old has starred for Wolves since arriving in the West Midlands in 2019, contributing 14 goals and 24 assists across 135 appearances.<\/p>\n

Only injury issues have stopped the Portugal international from moving to a bigger club sooner, with Neto missing a remarkable 549 days with fitness problems over the past four seasons.<\/p>\n

However, the Premier League champions would get an elite performer if he stays fit.<\/p>\n

The former Braga winger registered nine Premier League assists at an average of 0.53 per 90 minutes last season, which was only bettered by Kevin De Bruyne (0.73 per 90).<\/p>\n

With an asking price of around \u00a360million, signing Neto could be a gamble worth taking for Guardiola\u2019s outfit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Michael Olise<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There is fierce competition for Michael Olise\u2019s signature, but reports indicate that he would be keen on joining Manchester City if afforded the opportunity.<\/p>\n

Guardiola should consider the Crystal Palace winger, 22, who averaged an eye-watering 1.13 Premier League goal contributions per 90 in 2023\/24, after chipping in with ten goals and six assists.<\/p>\n

However, as with Neto, the injury history of the France Under-21 international adds a degree of risk to any potential deal.<\/p>\n

He played just 19 league matches (1277 minutes) last season and suffered from hamstring issues in the previous two campaigns.<\/p>\n

Olise’s eye-catching output and impressive ball-carrying ability may tempt City to rival Manchester United and Chelsea for the \u00a360m-rated wide man.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jarrod Bowen<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jarrod Bowen would bring goalscoring pedigree and impressive versatility to Manchester City\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old forward operated as both a right winger and a central striker for West Ham United last season so he could fulfil multiple functions for Guardiola\u2019s outfit.<\/p>\n

Though he is a different player profile than Neto and Olise, neither of the aforementioned duo can match Bowen\u2019s 16 top-flight strikes in 2023\/24 \u2014 including the joint-most headed goals in the division (5).<\/p>\n

But he is a creator, too, chipping in with six Premier League assists and conjuring a commendable 12 big chances.<\/p>\n

The England international also played a staggering 3840 minutes of football in all competitions last term, which would represent a durable addition to the Citizens’ forward line.<\/p>\n
