Manchester City 'unlikely to sign new striker after Harry Kane news'

Manchester City are reportedly likely to stick with their same attacking options for the 2021-22 campaign, having seen their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane end in disappointment.

Kane has been a leading target for the English champions during the current transfer window, but the England captain will now be staying at Tottenham beyond the end of the deadline.

Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic and Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo have been linked with moves to the Etihad Stadium, but according to the Daily Mail, the Citizens are now unlikely to sign a new forward.

The report claims that Pep Guardiola is happy to stick with his existing options despite Sergio Aguero's exit, which has left the club short of experienced numbers in the centre-forward spot.

Man City are allegedly confident that Gabriel Jesus, Ferran Torres, Liam Delap, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling can all contribute through the middle.

Ronaldo has been strongly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium, but Guardiola is not believed to be interested in bringing the Portugal international to the club.

Man City will be looking to record their second Premier League win of the season when they welcome Arsenal to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
