Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi has welcomed the club's summer spending spree.

City have splurged in the transfer window, signing six players including defenders Kyle Walker, Danilo and Benjamin Mendy.

"It's always positive when there's this much competition," Otamendi said.

"It doesn't allow for any of the players to relax, you always have to give 100 per cent.

"It makes it complicated to choose the starting XI but that's why we need to have a strong pre-season.

"This season, obviously we've got good quality players and that's always a great thing to have. The ultimate goal is to get titles. Unfortunately we weren't able to do that last season so that's a big goal for us."
