Fernandinho has hailed the impact of Manchester City's summer signings.

Fernandinho has been impressed with Manuel Pellegrini's recruitment in the summer and feels the Blues are building a formidable legacy with their transfer dealings.

“The philosophy of the club is growing every year, they buy new players every window and this is a good challenge for players - everyone needs to challenge for their place which means their level continues to grow.

“If this continues we will be able to compete for the Premier League every year."
