5 strikers Pep Guardiola could sign for Manchester City in 2022
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have been looking for a striker for over a year now.
Having been linked with several players in the past, Manchester City seemed to have locked in on Harry Kane in pre-season. The Englishman has been in excellent form over the past few seasons. He seemed to hit his peak last season, winning both the Golden Boot and the Playmaker awards in the Premier League.
Manchester City were in hot pursuit of Kane, even submitting a couple of bids in excess of £100 million for the Tottenham Hotspur man. Their bids were rejected by club chairman Daniel Levy, who ensured Kane stayed at the club. Sergio Aguero's departure further complicated affairs at the club.

City are still in need of a proper centre-forward in their ranks. There is no doubt they will go above and beyond this year to ensure they sign a top-class striker who helps their quest for the elusive UEFA Champions League trophy.
#5 Robert Lewandowski - Bayern Munich
Robert Lewandowski is arguably the best striker in world football.
The Polish attacker has been at Bayern Munich since 2014 and boasts an incredible goalscoring record. Lewandowski has made over 350 appearances for the club, scoring a mammoth 328 goals.

Lewandowski has certainly enjoyed his fair share of success with Bayern. It was recently reported that the Pole may be allowed to leave Bayern this year if the right bid came along.

Considering that Pep Guardiola has already coached Lewandowski at Bayern, it would not be insane to think that the pair might reunite at Manchester City. Despite turning 33 recently, Lewandowski only seems to be getting better. He recently won The Best FIFA award for the second consecutive year.
#4 Jonathan David - Lille
Jonathan David has found himself on the watchlist of several clubs over the past couple of years.
The Canadian forward has been with Lille since 2020 and has built quite a reputation for himself. Still only 22, the player is slowly developing into one of the world's top attacking talents.

David has only improved this season and has already registered 12 league goals in just 20 appearances. With almost half the season left to go, there is no doubt David's stock will rise even higher come the end of the season.
