Approaching the second week of August and City have only signed one player, Elliot Anderson, who is likely to be in the first XI this season. The fee paid to Nottingham Forest for the England international is a club record £116m, with the 23-year-old seemingly a replacement for Bernardo Silva, who departed at the end of his contract and joined Real Madrid. Teenage winger Jeremy Monga may be given playing time in the academy after joining from Leicester, while goalkeeper Pierce Charles and winger Mathys Detourbet both immediately went out on loan after joining.
Matthias Jaissle, Eddie Howe's replacement at Newcastle United, might not be too well known given that his only head coaching roles to date have been in Austria and Saudi Arabia. So who is the man arriving to take charge at St James' Park?
Jeremy Monga's £10m move from Leicester City to Manchester City may have gone under the radar this summer, but the teenager's own career is not expected to go in the same direction. The 17-year-old is the third-youngest player to appear in the Premier League and is now settling in at one of the world's biggest clubs, who have former Foxes boss Enzo Maresca in charge. Monga came off the bench in City's 3-1 friendly win over a K-League XI in sweltering conditions at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Hull City owner Acun Ilicali says he currently "cannot say yes or no" as to whether Joe Gelhardt will return to the Tigers in the Premier League. The 24-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Hull, before returning for the entirety of their promotion-winning campaign in which he scored 15 goals. "I cannot say yes or no at the moment," Ilicali told BBC Radio Humberside.
Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic says defender Charlie Hughes is "far away" from a return from injury and has "no hope" of making the first game of the Premier League season against Manchester United. Hughes underwent a hernia operation after last season's Wembley success and complained of discomfort when he returned to first-team training this summer. "Every player, especially from last season who was a main player in our road to Wembley, to the Premier League, has a big role for us."
