Roque Santa Cruz insists Manchester City are capable of challenging for the title this season.

"That's the aim," he told the Guardian. "Certainly in the coming years. That's why I came here.

"First, we have to look at breaking into the top four. That's our target this year and it's realistic. Beyond that, though, there are no limits. The owners have shown they will do everything to get this club to the top. They want the club to win the league and I don't think there is anything now that can stop what has already started."
