Guardiola wants West Ham fullback Cresswell at Man City

West Ham fullback Aaron Cresswell is on Manchester City's radar.

The Mirror says City will need to strengthen significantly this summer if Pep Guardiola is to have the personnel capable of giving the club a legitimate chance of Champions League success, the next great challenge for them after two Premier League title triumphs.

Gael Clichy, City's first-choice left-back, was at fault for Real's decisive goal in the Bernabeu, allowing Gareth Bale in behind him, with City hoping to land West Ham's Aaron Cresswell as his replacement.

Up to six players could be offloaded by City this summer, with the same number coming in, as the Blues seek to build on their progress in Europe this season and usher in a new era of success under Guardiola.
