Mendy latest to join Guardiola's City rebuild

MANCHESTER CITY have announced the £52m signing of French left-back Benjamin Mendy from Monaco on a five-year-deal, which has taken their summer spending to more than £200m.

Mendy’s arrival at the Etihad comes just 24 hours after the signing of Real Madrid defender Danilo, who joined for a fee believed to be £26.5m on a five-year deal, while Aleksandar Kolarov has left City for Serie A outfit Roma.

Pep Guardiola’s new signings follow recent arrivals Kyle Walker (£45m from Tottenham), Bernardo Silva (£43 from Monaco) and goalkeeper Ederson (£34m from Benfica) and as a result they are now a best-priced 19-10 with Betfair to lift the Premier League title.

England’s women moved one step closer to the European Championship knockout stages after beating Spain 2-0 on Sunday evening.

The Lionesses now need only a draw in their final group match against Portugal to guarantee their progress as group winners, which should mean they avoid ante-post favourites France in the last eight.
