Alexandre Lacazette and Ollie Watkins would be ideal solutions to Man City's lack of a No 9, says Shaun Wright-Phillips... as he claims Premier League champions may not need to splash £150m on Harry Kane

Manchester City may not need to splash £150 million on Harry Kane or Erling Haaland to fill their void up front and should instead focus on signing Alexandre Lacazette or Ollie Watkins, according to Shaun Wright-Phillips.

With Sergio Aguero signing for Barcelona as free agent in the summer after a trophy-laden decade at the Etihad, City have gone into the season with Gabriel Jesus as their only recognised striker.

The Premier League champions were heavily linked to Kane and Haaland in the summer and continue to keep tabs on both, but Pep Guardiola has often played without a typical No 9 this season.
