Guardiola targets Premier League trio

 

Incoming Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is hoping to sign Alexis Sanchez, John Stones and Danny Rose from Arsenal, Everton and Tottenham, respectively, reports The Sun.

 

Wholesale changes are expected at the Etihad Stadium this summer as Guardiola looks to rebuild a City side capable of securing Premier League glory.

 

Stones is tipped to depart Goodison Park before the start of next season, with City the frontrunners to secure his services.

 

Guardiola is a huge fan of his ball playing centre-backs and has earmarked the 21-year-old as a possible addition, despite the youngster's poor form this campaign.

 

Rose is another potential target after an impressive season saw him secure a place in Roy Hodgson's England squad for Euro 2016.

Tottenham will be reluctant to listen to offers for their starting left-back, but know City have cash to burn and that left-back is a supposed priority for Guardiola.

 

Alexis is also on the Spaniard's wish list, with the Chilean yet to put pen to paper on a new contract for Arsenal, though the Gunners' second placed finish could convince the 27-year-old that his future lies in north London.

 

Arsenal will be keen to hold onto their prized asset, whose WhoScored rating (7.72) was among the best in the Premier League this season.
