  • Manchester City’s new left-back Benjamin Mendy comes with a reputation as fantastic crosser.

    The Frenchman’s arrival in a reported £49.4 million deal takes Pep Guardiola’s summer spending past £200m, with defensive acquisitions alone totalling £156 million as Mendy joins Real Madrid’s Danilo and Tottenham’s Kyle Walker as back-four recruits, in addition to new goalkeeper Ederson, bought from Benfica.

    Guardiola is known to favour full-backs who have the energy and ability to play high up the pitch and join the attack. Mendy certainly fits the bill.

    The 23-year-old managed five assists in Ligue 1 last season, when he attempted 6.8 crosses per game.

    The video below looks at Mendy’s best crosses from last season’s league campaign.
