Mendy joins City as Guardiola continues to splash the cash

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.
