Chelsea need a goalscorer, Liverpool could do with an extra playmaker... and Man United hope for a miracle! Where each top six club must strengthen to keep pace with Man City after the champions signed Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips

Another year, another title. After four Premier League crowns in five seasons, it's often hard to imagine Manchester City getting any stronger.

Yet every summer, the Etihad chiefs splash out with consistency - Jack Grealish for £100million in 2021, Ruben Dias for £64m in 2020, Joao Cancelo and Rodri for a combined £118m in 2019.

In fact, the last time the champions failed to spend more than £50m on a single player was back in 2014, when Wilfried Bony, Eliaquim Mangala and Bacary Sagna were on the list of summer signings.
