Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is looking for commitment to the club from his players.

He explained to The Times: "The best players will always help you with that. It is also important to have empathy for the club as well. I think we have a real chance to cultivate that here because we have young players who come right through the ranks.

"We are trying to get our levels up to the level we had at our previous club, and if we do that, tie in with the technical ability of the squad, there is no reason not to think that we are going to reach the ambitious targets set by the new owners and us. I can guarantee everybody that a footballer that plays for us will have all the necessary tools to do the job."
