Chelsea are on the verge of signing Tiemoue Bakayoko for £35 million, and the Mail believes a domino effect could occur to send Nemanja Matic to Manchester United. Antonio Conte is a huge fan of Bakayoko, and the former Italy boss hopes to put any dispute with the Blues’ board behind him by clinching a deal for the Monaco star.

But while there are likely to be more signings to add options elsewhere in his team, Guardiola has now turned his attention to the defence, an area many saw as City’s biggest problem last season as they failed to compete for silverware. The City boss is short of full-backs…
