Man City chairman Khaldoon: We'll find right player to replace Aguero

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has hinted of a big name signing to replace Sergio Aguero this summer.

Tottenham's Harry Kane and Erling Haaland, of Borussia Dortmund, are on City's list of targets after club record goal scorer Aguero joined Barcelona as a free agent.

"We lose a very important legend in Sergio Aguero," said Khaldoon. "Very hard shoes to fill, but I'm confident that we will find the right player to fill those shoes.

"There are other areas within the group that obviously need investment. Not too many, it's not about numbers, it's about quality.

"I think it's a phenomenal squad. You don't win the Premier League and reach the Champions League final if you don't have an incredible squad. We will bring quality into the squad in a couple of key positions.

"One of the things I've learned over the years is you need to constantly bring talent into the team. Refresh. Particularly when you are at a high level, when you are on the top.

"Having won the league, it is not the time to sit back and be content. That actually would be your biggest mistake.

"This is the time to send a strong message that there is no contentment, that you are not satisfied with just winning the league."
