Manchester City are now pushing hard to beat Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal in the race to sign a new midfielder in the summer transfer window, according to David Ornstein.
It appears to be a summer transfer window where clubs in the Premier League are all battling for the same signatures, going head-to-head for new additions.
We've already seen the likes of Man City and Manchester United battle for Elliot Anderson, while the Red Devils were also pushing against Tottenham for Mateus Fernandes.
They all appear to be shopping in this similar market, and it's primarily down to the fact that most of the big clubs are eyeing midfielders.
We're already seeing plenty of competitive races setting up for an exciting end to the window.
