Enzo Maresca has stressed the crucial role new midfield trio Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernández and Ayyoub Bouaddi will have to play for City both this season and beyond.
The high-quality trio’s arrival all formed part of what proved an extremely busy and extensive summer transfer window for City.
With Rodri, Bernardo, Nico Gonzalez and Tijjani Reijnders all having departed over the summer, it’s meant that Maresca now has a radically reshaped City midfield at his disposal.
And addressing the media at Friday’s pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s latest Premier League clash at home to Coventry, the boss made plain how excited he was looking ahead about the way the City engine room now lines up.

“But there are no doubts that these three are going to be main players for us.”
